The meeting location is the Hellgate condos.
We will be removing invasive weeds and restoring the area just west of the Hellgate Condominiums.  Friends of Alta holds a conservation easement that was donated by the Hellgate owners on this parcel. This work is being done due to activities impacting the landscape from work done on the avalanche safety wall and due to flooding events this summer.

Please waer long pants, stury shoes, suncreen and bring enough water and food for the duration of the planting session.
