Carbondale, CO: On June 12th, in Sopris Park, Wilderness Workshop will be hosting its annual Community Party. This year’s party, from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m, will celebrate our incredible community and the beautiful public lands that surround our homes and towns. And, of course, we will eat some good food and dance in the park. The event is free and open to the public.
“Now more than ever, we need to come together to celebrate and stand-up for our public lands,” said Will Roush, Executive Director of Wilderness Workshop. “We live here because of the amazing wildlife, rivers, and the world-class hiking, fishing and biking. In the coming years, we will all need to protect what we love. This event is just one of the many ways we honor our community for all their support and advocacy, as well as welcome new community members to join us in our efforts to protect the wild places and public lands that define our community and way of life.”
Bring friends, family, colleagues, or anyone who loves public lands and join us in Sopris Park!
