Teachable Moments has done an annual Earth Week Trail Clean-Up since 2020. “We started gathering as Young Community Stewards (neighborhood kids) and turned into a group of early childhood kiddos (Teachable Moments),” educator Traci Turner explained. “We have the luxury of walking on the Rio Grande Trail every day during school. We always hope to leave it cleaner than we find it.” Each April, Turner’s class does a big push to clean their stretch of the trail, from 27th Street to Rosebud Cemetery in Glenwood Springs. “I hope everyone has time to get out and clean up some trash,” Turner added. “Happy Earth Week!” Courtesy photo

Garden days
Bee Friendly Carbondale invites you to help prepare pollinator gardens at the Thompson House, 301 Lewies Lane, on Saturday, April 26 and May 3, from 10am to 2pm. Snacks, refreshments and tools will be provided; volunteers are asked to bring gloves. 

Paint recycling
In alignment with Earth Day, PaintCare — a nonprofit that operates Colorado’s paint stewardship program — announced that 841,412 gallons of leftover paint were collected from Coloradans in 2024, an increase from the year prior. This program is funded by a small fee applied to all new paint sales and the recycled paint is processed into latex-based products and fuel. Find a drop-off location near you at www.paintcare.org/states/colorado

Spring clean-up
Carbondale’s spring clean-up and recycling event will take place May 10 from 8am to 2pm. Carbondale residents will receive discounts and fee waivers to recycle some items. Metal, wood, mattresses, tires, appliances and electronic and hazardous waste will all be accepted (excluding ammunition/explosives/fireworks, radioactive waste, flares, biohazardous waste and fire extinguishers). Seasonal yard waste can be dropped off May 3 and every other Saturday through September. Prescription drugs will be received by the Carbondale Police Department on April 26 from 10am to 2pm.

Outdoor equity funding
Colorado Parks and Wildlife is accepting applications for its Outdoor Equity Grant program, aimed to increase access to outdoor recreation activities for underserved Colorado youth and families. Organizations helping to instill a sense of wonder, excitement and responsibility for the environment in local youth can apply for up to $100,000 per project. This program was created in 2021 through the state legislature and is funded through the Colorado Lottery. Applications are due by June 2 and grants will be distributed March 31, 2026. Learn more and register for a April 30 webinar by visiting cpw.state.co.us/outdoor-equity-grant-program

Snowmass upgrades
With the skiing season concluded, Aspen Snowmass prepares to break ground on nearly $80 million in on-mountain improvements at Snowmass, including two new high-speed chairlifts, complete reconstruction of the Ullrhof restaurant and upgraded snowmaking infrastructure. Forest health and safety projects are also planned on all four Aspen ski mountains to improve wildlife habitats and reduce wildfire risks while improving terrain for recreation. 

Homelessness
According to the Common Sense Institute, a non-partisan research organization, the state’s population of unhoused people grew by 90% since 2020 — the fourth-highest growth rate in the nation. Homelessness in the Denver metro area reached a record high of 9,977 unhoused individuals in 2024. The report suggests that “housing first” policies are not proving effective, whereas a “work-first” model in El Paso County (Colorado Springs) resulted in a drop in homelessness. 

CORE funding
Atlantic Aviation, the company that recently secured a 30-year lease agreement as the fixed-base operator at Aspen/Pitkin County Airport, has committed a $300,000 challenge grant to support the Community Office for Resource Efficiency (CORE) with climate action initiatives in the Roaring Fork Valley. For every $2 CORE raises by the end of 2025, its 30th anniversary year, Atlantic Aviation will give $1 up to $300,000. In the Roaring Fork Valley, the transportation sector accounts for nearly 35% of regional greenhouse gas emissions, with aviation contributing more than 30% of all transportation emissions, a press release elaborated. 

Dwindling snowpack
A Roaring Fork Conservancy snowpack and river report from April 17 revealed that warm, dry and windy conditions are worsening drought conditions in our watershed. Snowpack fell to 68% of normal for this time of year, a 20% decrease from the week prior. Meanwhile, local rivers were flowing up to 165% of normal. 

I-70 delays
Beginning April 28, motorists can anticipate delays on I-70 at Vail Pass as a project aimed to improve safety and traffic flow resumes. In May, there will be daily eastbound and westbound single-lane closures from Mile Point 185 to 190. In June, rock-scaling activities will require traffic holds Monday through Thursday from 9:30am to 2:30pm. Later in the summer, traffic holds will occur one or two days a week while helicopters lift avalanche mitigation materials into place. To sign up for text alert notifications, visit COtrip.org or text “vailpass” (one word) to 21000. 

State transit
The Colorado Department of Transportation is taking a fresh look at the state’s transportation investment priorities and building a plan to help deliver on those priorities for the next 10 years. There will be a series of telephone town halls to gather public input. Residents of Eagle, Garfield and Pitkin counties are encouraged to join a call on Tuesday, June 3 from 6:30 to 7:30pm. To sign up, visit: www.bit.ly/CDOTinput
