Thriving Land Thursdays: Barbed Wire Pull on the 910 Ranch

Barbed Wire Pull at the 910 Ranch! Join us at the 910 Ranch for a hands-on day of stewardship and community connection! We’ll work together to remove decommissioned barbed wire fencing, helping to restore wildlife movement and improve the health of the landscape.

What to Bring & Wear: Wear long pants, long sleeves, and sturdy closed-toe shoes or boots. Pack sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), water and snacks, and layers in case of changing weather. Please bring sunglasses to act as protective eyewear! Participants should bring thick, sturdy gloves for their protection and wire cutters if they have them. Summit County has a limited number of gloves and wire cutters to borrow.

Safety Notice: Participation in barbed wire removal can be dangerous. Hazards may include cuts, punctures, scrapes, tripping, heavy lifting, sharp edges, and exposure to rusted metal or other environmental risks. By signing up and attending this activity, you acknowledge these risks, accept full responsibility for your participation, and agree to the terms of the waiver. A recent tetanus vaccination is recommended, though it is not required. Your safety is our priority—please work carefully, follow instructions, and look out for one another.

This is a great opportunity to roll up your sleeves, meet like-minded people, and directly contribute to preserving and enhancing one of our community’s treasured open spaces.
