Buttermilk Boulder Clean-up and Evening Slideshow

On Saturday, April 18, please join the Friends of the Inyo and the Eastern Sierra Climbers Coalition for a day of fulfilling volunteer work and an evening of entertainment.

Buttermilk Cleanup 10am-1pm - Peabody Boulders, Buttermilk Country

The day will start with a morning of stewardship work around the famous Peabody boulders in Buttermilk Country. In partnership with the Access Fund and the Eastern Sierra Climbers Coalition, Friends of the Inyo will bring climbers and members of the community together to clean up trash and debris in the area, and to help limit the expansion of the network of trails between the boulders. The morning's work will run from 10am to 1pm; volunteers should meet at the "borrow pit" just south of the bouldering area, on Buttermilk Rd. 3.3 miles from Highway 168. Free refreshments will be provided for volunteers. For more information, contact Friends of the Inyo at 760-873-6500, or andrew@friendsoftheinyo.org.
