Red Rock Day needs volunteers

Volunteers are needed for the annual Red Rock Day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.

Work projects will include: fence building, handicap access to trailhead, painting, camp ground tent pads, trail repair and removal, landscape improvement, and trash pick-up.

Volunteers will be divided into groups and assigned a project with a trained work leader. A short training session will be held for participants on how to work in Red Rock Canyon's sensitive environment, how to use two-way radios to communicate with event officials, and basic safety procedures.

All participants will receive a barbecue lunch.
