Community groups are teaming up this December to help bring life back to Huffaker Hills after the Barron Fire scorched much of the area last summer. Two volunteer workdays are planned for December 7 and December 14, where anyone can pitch in on planting native vegetation and spreading seed across the open space. The goal is to kickstart natural recovery and help stabilize the land before winter fully settles in.
The events are being hosted by Gearhut, the Sierra Club Toiyabe Chapter, and Friends of Nevada Wilderness, who say the work is simple but makes a huge impact on long-term restoration. Snacks, water and tools will be provided for volunteers. Participants are asked to dress for winter weather and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.
