KEMMERER, Wyo. – The Bureau of Land Management Kemmerer Field Office invites families, individuals, clubs and organizations to come support our public lands and the local BLM office next Saturday, August 25, by providing extra hands to rehab picnic tables in need of some repair at the Fontenelle Creek Campground located at the Fontenelle Reservoir. The rehab will consist of minor sanding and painting at various campsites throughout the campground.
Volunteers of all ages are welcome to participate. Check in begins at 9 a.m. in the lower loop of the campground on the west side of Fontenelle Reservoir, approximately 10 miles south of La Barge, Wyo., along Highway 189.
We suggest that all participants wear proper work gear such as hats, long pants, sturdy shoes and sunscreen. Gloves, painting supplies, water and snacks will be provided.
