CATS CORPS 2021 Projects

This year starting on Sunday July 11 opening up our trail workdays to the public again. Before July we plan to use groups of 10 or less volunteers. People will take their own cars to the worksite. We will spread out the physical work so there is appropriate social distancing. These workdays are open to our Cats Corps trail builders and our friends.

Workdays are Sundays 8:00 am to 1:00 pm (beer/beverage to follow each workday at a Covid 19 safe place)

PS: Remember to bring: gloves, working shoes, liter of water, sun screen, clothing layers, Face Masking for Covid 19 protection and whatever you need for a day outdoors in Colorado. See dates and volunteer registration links to the right.

Who is (What is) Manitou Cats

Starting in 2014 trail users and nature lovers around Manitou Springs started taking responsibility for developing and maintaining the trails, parks and open spaces we all use. It is up to our community to protect and sustain the beauty around us for future generations. We are focused on creating enjoyable, safe and worthwhile outdoor stewardship projects for volunteers. Lately however we have branched out to support outdoor projects that builds community spirit and helps the environment in many different ways.
There is a spin-off group called CATS Corps, which is made up of crew leaders and highly experience trail builders. The CATS Corps takes on more technical projects and they work in small groups when they can.
