The Bureau of Land Management is inviting the public to a community workday at the Andy Martin Hill River Access on Saturday. The area is located along the South Fork of the Shoshone River, southwest of Cody.
Volunteers and BLM staff will remove old wooden posts, barbed wire fences and t-posts for public safety, and install a new entrance sign, information kiosk and two picnic tables.
The BLM says the workday supports its commitment to enhance public access and recreational opportunities on public land.
“The Andy Martin Hill River Access has historically received little use due to limited accessibility,” said Rick Tryder, BLM outdoor recreation planner in the Cody Field Office. “The work we do there will improve the public’s recreational experiences, including time spent fishing and hunting, and also give us a chance to get to know each other.”
Participants should meet at 8 a.m. at the BLM Cody Field Office (1002 Blackburn St. in Cody) to caravan to the recreation site. Wear durable work shoes and appropriate clothing for the weather, and bring work gloves, sunscreen, lunch and water, the BLM says. Hand tools will be provided.
“This is bear country, so bring bear spray if you have it,” the BLM added.
For more information, contact Tryder at rtryder@blm.gov or 307-578-5926.
