Mountain Shadows Landscape Rehabilitation Leadership Opportunity!

As the Mountain Shadows urban forest and landscape rehabilitation process approaches its first growing season after the Waldo Canyon Fire, Colorado Springs Together is reaching out to the community for key volunteers to form an important and exciting landscape leadership team. This team is an essential part of the rebuilding process in Mountain Shadows. 

Goals for the team include:

  • Working with residents and lot owners to identify and prioritize landscape rehabilitation needs and wants.
  • Matching the extensive volunteerism, donations and in-kind support from numerous charitable groups and “green industry” professionals wanting to help with landscape projects throughout the community.
  • Communicating progress plus rehabilitation tips (e.g. landscape design, irrigation issues, best practices for xeriscaping, tree health assessments, natural area restoration, etc.) to interested residents.
  • Organizing relevant and informative seminars from industry experts for the benefit of community residents.

Ideal traits:

  • Love working with people and have a desire to help restore a beautiful urban forest and healthy landscapes throughout Mountain Shadows.
  • Strong planning, project management and communication skills.
  • Having a “green thumb” might be helpful but is absolutely not required.

Please help our community by expressing your interests using our Individual Volunteer Form. You will be promptly contacted after filling out the form. Alternatively, if you have questions or would like to discuss the opportunity, please contact:

This new landscape leadership team will receive support and assistance from the Colorado Springs Together office manager, plus the current group of dedicated CST volunteers to accelerate the recovery process.

Let’s work together and do this!
