Summit County, Colorado -- Summit County Government's Open Space and Trails Department will kick off its 2007 Adopt-A-Trail/Open Space Program with two tree planting projects on Thursday, May 10th at 8:30 a.m. at the Iron Springs Open Space and on Saturday, May 12th at 8:30 a.m. at the Fourmile Bridge Open Space.

"We're doing something totally different for our kick-off event this year - we're inviting everyone to join us for our tree planting days. The planting of seedling trees is part of the County's reforestation efforts," said Claudia Wiley, County Open Space and Trails Technician.

There are other volunteer opportunities this summer with Summit County Open Space and Trails on several fun and rewarding trails projects throughout the County. These projects consist of a variety of activities for all ages, abilities and fitness levels. Several recpath sections, natural surface trails and open space areas are up for adoption for the summer as well.

To RSVP for the volunteer kick-off event and learn more about the various volunteer opportunities this summer, contact the Open Space and Trails Department at 668-4092 or via email to claudiaw@co.summit.co.us
