Looking across the wetlands area toward Mount Lamborn and Lands End. Volunteers planted hundreds of willows to create habitat for critters and help keep soil in place.
Designed and built by Ira Houseweart and Jim Hardin, the gate features sculptural creatures and offers a wide welcome to the Paonia River Park.
The bike rack made by Ryan Sylvester looks cool and is functional as well.
A dedicated troupe showed up to tramp around the Paonia River Park yesterday and mark another step in its transformation from an in-stream gravel operation into a thriving fish and wildlife habitat, wetlands, swimming and boating area, and riverside park.
