Group of Volunteers at Grand Junction Wildlife AreaOn September 10, 2016, as part of Xcel Energy’s Day of Service 2016, ten employees from Xcel Energy in Grand Junction, Colorado, volunteered at the Grand Junction Wildlife Area. The wildlife area is located in Grand Junction and owned by Reclamation.

The volunteers pruned trees and cut and removed weed barrier material from around cottonwood trees at the wildlife area. This project will ensure the health and growth of trees planted in the wildlife area 17 years ago. The trees are important because they provide wildlife habitat, soil stabilization, erosion control and a measure of flood control.
