The first meeting of the Incline Oversight Committee was held on Wednesday, April 25 at the Manitou Springs City Hall. This committee was established as part of the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) signed by both the Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs City Councils. As the name implies, this committee’s mandate is to oversee everything Incline, monitoring the legalization process, work on the Incline- both by volunteers and…

At our recent crew leader training some of us discussed the “patience factor,” i.e. crew leaders don’t want to be waiting around for volunteers to organize, pay attention, etc. and volunteers, since they are giving freely of their time, don’t want that time wasted either. As a volunteer, when you arrive for a trail project you can expect a certain amount of time will be spent organizing you into different crews, familiarizing you with tools and most importantly, reviewing safety…

Board President Steve Bremner and Board Member BIll Beagle took part in approximately 16 hours of Crew Leader Training during the April 20-22 weekend. It was a great weekend to be outside in two beautiful spots, Glen Eyrie and Garden of the Gods and we even managed to get some good work done, on a new trail, an existing trail and reclamation work on a social trail. One of the most gratifying aspects was seeing 29 other people take part in this training. Sez a lot about just how much people…

Many Hands Make for a Great Work Day
It is truly amazing what a small band of people can accomplish in roughly five hours time. Nearly 60 volunteers and crew leaders contributed to some significant improvements to the area around the Manitou Incline on Saturday, May 12. Many, many thanks to those who got up early to pitch in and to those who just happened by and decided to volunteer on the spot. Many thanks also to REI, the Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department, the City of Manitou Springs, C & C Sand and Stone, Trails and Open Space Coalition, Friends of the Peak and D'Vine Wine. There are a lot of pictures below to help tell the story but in a nutshell: fencing and signs were installed, social trails were closed and reclamation of those areas was begun. There is still a lot of work to be done so there will be more volunteer opportunities in the future and of course you can learn about them right here when they arise.
