The Independence Pass Foundation’s work and accomplishments on the Pass are truly the result of collaboration with a diverse group of partners. The City of Aspen and Pitkin County continue to be generous with grant funding and logistical support; the work crews supplied by the Colorado Department of Corrections are an invaluable source of labor that performs the hard and hazardous work beyond the capabilities of even the most enthusiastic volunteer; Aspen Middle School and Aspen Country Day School provide us with an opportunity to reach out and involve the next generation of environmental stewards.
Executive Director Mark Fuller and Warden John Davis of the Buena Vista Correctional Facility, which provides inmate work crews every year to assist with projects on the Pass.
IPF Board members Gail Holstein, Bob Wade and David Hyman thank and congratulate Doug Sheffer, DBS Helicopters, on the successful removal of 27 tons of snow fence debris from along the Pass summit in 2010. Doug, who piloted the helicopter, made over 100 trips over two days to retrieve the material from the steep slopes in the Mountain Boy area and deposit it at the staging site for removal to Denver for recycling.
