______________________________________________________________________
Rocky Ireland Publishers is proud to now be in our 6th year of adopting the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Bangs Canyon Staging Area off Little Park Road, which is located 8 miles southwest of Grand Junction, Colorado. This area includes: Rough Canyon, the Mica Mine, Ladder Canyon, and the Tabeguache trail.
As a BLM Certified Crew Leader Jeffery Fleming leads the workdays.
On work days we do the following:
*clean
*pick up trash
*repair erosion
*reroute the trail to make it more sustainable
*trim brush away from the trail route
*remove invasive Tamarisk and Russian Olive
Contact us, or the BLM, to get involved in improving and building new trails.
The area and who uses it.
This BLM area receives hundreds of visitors each week who use the area to recreate: on foot, on horse, on mountain bikes, on motorcycles, 4-wheelers, and with 4X4 trucks. This multiuse area is the destination for both local and worldwide visitors.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Due to high volume foot traffic and natural erosion on the Rough Canyon Trail and Mica Mine Trail the area needs attention.
Rocky Ireland has commited to repair and stabilize the trails to make them more sustainable.
