I haven’t posted up much about Coon Camp Springs lately, mostly because I simply haven’t been able to get up there at all this year.  Between one thing or another and the price of fuel, I curtailed a lot of my road trips this summer… when work didn’t have me off to Spokane.

Nevertheless, and with me or without me, Dave’s been toiling along diligently.  This project is his passion, as evidenced by the fact that he keeps at it, even when frustrated by the lack of help and funds.  It’s paying off now, and we’ve finally got the CWA involved in a project to restore the historic wetlands on the property.  This is gonna be huge when it’s done!

Anyway, in addition to the general work, it’s coming up on Labor Day weekend and Dave wanted me to let folks know that anyone who doesn’t have other plans is more than welcome to come on up for the holiday.  There are 7000 acres to play on, and a little bit of work for anyone who wants to pitch in.  Here’s the message he sent out to his mailing list last week (I was on the road, and didn’t have bandwidth to post this up at the time):

Coon Camp Springs is looking for volunteers for the Labor Day weekend. This will probably be the last of the year. Come on up and join us in helping the wildlife in this little (7000 acres) piece of high desert heaven. Meet some new people, plant some food plants, hike, hang out and have a general good time.

The main project will be transplanting two year old plants from the nursery to various places on the project. If I can get my hands on some more seedlings, we will plant them in the nursery.

As usual, we will have a menu of wild game including various fish we just caught in Baja, elk, venison and other goodies.

Have a great day,

Dave Allen

In addition to the work weekend, Dave also wanted to let folks know that there are still a couple of tags available for hunts at Coon Camp Springs this year.  There is one PLM deer tag left (PLM allows us to hunt the rut, which can be phenomenal hunting with some really good bucks) for $3300.  There is also an antelope tag which Dave is selling for $2000.  The purchase price is tax deductible (CCS is a non-profit organization), and funds are used to keep the habitat restoration project alive.
