Help us in the process of getting the property once known as Heaven's Door Ranch ready to open to the public!

Heaven's Door, currently in the process of being renamed, had a LOT of very sturdy fencing that needs to be removed for the safety of wildlife and the future enjoyment of the public. This is a special project, where a group of volunteers will get to access the property before it is open to the public in order to help us remove the fence. Volunteers will remove barbed wire and sheep fence from posts, roll up the wire, remove posts from the ground, & stack materials in a designated area for staff to retrieve later. All metal collected will be recycled.

Volunteers must be 16 or older. Volunteers must be able to walk ~0.5 mile on uneven surfaces to reach the start of the fence line. Volunteers will be using fence pliers & t-post pullers; will need to be able to bend, squat, stoop, & squeeze. Moderate/difficult physical level. Volunteers will be working in tall grass with the possibility of ticks and snakes. We recommend long pants & insect repellant. There are no restrooms at this site. THIS EVENT MAY END EARLY DUE TO HEAT.

Volunteers will need to bring:
Sun protection (sunglasses, hat, sunscreen) - little to no shade at project site
Work gloves (some will be provided)
Wear closed-toe shoes & long pants - will be working in tall grass
WATER & re-fillable water bottle
Insect repellant
Snacks 
Clothing appropriate for the weather
Backpack (to carry it all)
Hand sanitizer (optional)
