For those looking to get an early start on their summer landscaping, the fresh mulch generated through the city's Christmas tree recycling program is now available to the public. Over 2,000 trees were dropped off and chipped this winter and the mulch is available for pick-up at the Emerald Park parking lot. You must load your own vehicle and the city asks that only residents and homeowners participate, no businesses. |

Summer Adult Sports Leagues |
Registration for all summer Adult Sports Leagues will open online on Monday, April 25 with most leagues beginning the week of June 6. As a reminder, we will be using a new registration system starting with all summer programs, so make sure to go online in advance to set up your new account and user profile.

After a brief hiatus over the winter, the Yampa River Restoration & Access Project started up again this week and will run through June. All of the in-channel river work is complete, and the contractor will be focusing on the upland area restoration, landscaping and soft surface trail install. There may be periodic trail closures along the Core Trail behind the Flour Mill, so keep your eyes open for detour signage. |

As temperatures rise, trails are beginning to melt out across the city. However, most trails are still too wet and snowy to use. In addition, a closure remains in effect for the wildlife populations on Spring Creek trail until April 15. While recreating, please use basic trail etiquette. Stay off wet or muddy trails to minimize damage and stay on the existing single track to prevent widening, braiding, and other negative trail impacts. |

The nesting pair of Osprey at the Yampa River Botanic Park have returned for the summer. Since their return at the beginning of the month, they have been busy with nest chores, fishing, and resting up after their long trip north. As the weather warms, crocuses and spring blooms are beginning to push through the warming earth. As the park continues to emerge from winter, stay tuned for opening day details. |
