Day of Service
Thanks to Darwin Toll '78, Will Piersol '83 and John Knight '83 for braving the Spring weather to work with Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado at Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge on Earth Day, April 22! This 16,000 acre site was once home to US Army chemical weapons manufacture and Shell Oil Company pesticide manufacture but was closed in 1985 and labelled a Superfund site. The last acres to be remediated were turned over to the National Fish and Wildlife Service in 2010 and the entire cleanup cost over 2 billion dollars.
Along with 120+ volunteers we built the first 3,800' of trail on the southeastern corner that will make the RMANWR accessible to easterly neighbors and residents and eventually connect this area to other preserved areas. Rain and 35 degrees at 8 am did not deter the throng, which included newcomers and families as well as experienced VOC volunteers and crew leaders. Tools, bathrooms and food were all provided and the dozen work crews were initially assigned to a 100' section to build. By the afternoon, crews leapfrogged ahead to work on new areas and the entire stretch of trail was finished an hour early. As usual, the Deerfield contingent was lauded for its effort and stellar demeanor!

About the Stewardship Site:
Located on the site of a former weapons manufacturing facility, the 15,000-acre Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge (Arsenal NWR) is now one of the largest urban refuges in the nation. Managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the area is home to more than 330 animal species, including bison, deer and coyotes, bald eagles and other raptors.

About the Volunteer Experience:
This project is taking place on a very special day - Earth Day! At VOC, we believe there's no better way to celebrate our earth than by digging in the dirt and giving Colorado a little TLC (Trail Loving Care). In honor of Earth Day, VOC will work with the City and County of Denver and the Arsenal NWR to construct 6,600 feet of new trail along First Creek. Volunteers ages 10 and up will build the trail by hauling and spreading an aggregate material known as "crusher fine." Tasks will be easy-to-moderate in difficulty.

About the Overall Impact:
The Arsenal NWR's eastern boundary is accessible to numerous local residents but has few amenities. Now, you have the opportunity to help the area become a valuable open space where thousands of people can gather, play and experience Colorado's great outdoors!

Recent DA Reception
Thanks again to Peter Fair '81 and Mark Falcone '81 for hosting the recent Deerfield reception at the Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown Denver. There was a great turnout across the decades which led to the usual spirited storytelling!
We heard a update on the school from Head of School Margarita Curtis and then an overview of the planned field house and rink from Bob Howe the new Director of Athletics. So much top notch stuff happening at DA these days.
