The Cutthroat Chapter proudly served as a volunteer sponsor for the City of Englewood’s Fins and Feathers event on Saturday, May 9, at Centennial Park.
At the CCTU booth, kids and parents had the opportunity to study live macroinvertebrates and learn the fundamentals of forming a fly-casting loop. Participants also enjoyed testing their fishing skills during the fishing derby and exploring the area on a guided nature walk along the water.
The event welcomed more than 50 attendees and featured participation from the City of Englewood, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and other community partners, making for a fun and educational day outdoors for everyone involved.
MORE ALMA RIVER WALK UPDATES
After a very successful Mineral Park Ponds revegetation project on Saturday August 14, 2021, some of CCTU volunteers checked out Alma's River Walk. We are pleased to report even more progress. What was just a pile of lumber a short time ago is now an ADA accessible boardwalk and fishing/observation platform. The boardwalk is constructed such that high water can pass underneath and it has edge curbs to keep wheelchairs in check. The platform was constructed on a location suggested by CCTU board members in previous meetings with the Alma Foundation. That location is not only scenic but also is a great fishing spot for able and disabled alike. The lack of railings along the boardwalk and platform creates an open view and allows easier casting from a seated position. It is great to see the project continuing to come along.
