Come volunteer at Loney Meadow

Loney Meadow features SYRCL’s first meadow and aspen restoration project. At this site SYRCL has been collecting data on the effectiveness of cattle exclusion fencing surrounding two aspen stands within the meadow complex.

Each year SYRCL installs the fencing before the cattle arrive at the meadow, then removes the fencing before winter after the cattle have left. This is a wonderful opportunity to help SYRCL with this study, and to see the meadow and aspen at the start of fall. 

We will be at a high elevation so be sure to bring water and snacks to stay hydrated during the day.

This is a more intensive work day where we will work with panel fencing, T posts, barbed wire, carrying heavy equipment, and walking over uneven terrain.

There is no cell service at Loney Meadow, a SYRCL employee will bring a SPOT device for satellite communication. 

Please bring: 

  • Lunch
  • Work Clothing
  • Work Gloves
  • Sun Protection
  • Water

SYRCL will provide:

  • Spare Work Gloves
  • Tools
  • Safety Glasses

If you prefer to use your own tools, safety glasses, or work gloves you are welcome to bring your own.

The Loney Meadow trailhead requires a high clearance vehicle to access from Bowman Lake Road. If you are unable to reach the trailhead, please email Anne Marie Holt at annemarie@yubariver.org to coordinate.
