Things to Do to Celebrate Colorado Public Lands Day


Wildcat Canyon, Near Cheesman Reservoir
On May 15, the conservation group Wild Connections was planning to hike eight miles to a remote section of the South Platte River, but rain, snow and dangerous trail conditions forced the group to push back its event. The area is upstream of Cheesman Reservoir, and is endangered by illegal motorized vehicles tearing the landscape apart. The eight-mile hike includes 1,200 feet of elevation gain, and the event will be limited to ten people. If you re interested in details and participating, contact Jim Lockhart at 719-385-0045 or jlock@datawest.net.

The Elk Creek mine above the town of Somerset may have closed years ago, but methane gas still silently seeps out of its collapsed walls and into the atmosphere.
Tom Vessels, a former gas executive turned entrepreneur, is on a mission to eliminate that gas from closed or abandoned mines and prove doing so can slow down global warming. ....

Methane From Abandoned Coal Mines Could Be Key To Fight Climate Change — If Only It Made More Money


Eric Edwards, right, Tom Vessels and Eugene Vessels, in rear, inspect one of the generators at the Elk Creek mine on Wednesday, March 17, 2021. The generator uses the captured methane gas to create electricity which then goes into the power grid.
The Elk Creek mine above the town of Somerset may have closed years ago, but methane gas still silently seeps out of its collapsed walls and into the atmosphere.
Tom Vessels, a former gas executive turned entrepreneur, is on a mission to eliminate that gas from closed or abandoned mines and prove doing so can slow down global warming.
For the last nine years, Vessels has captured the mine’s methane and used it to generate electricity for residents in the surrounding valleys. This has removed 250 billion cubic feet of methane annually equivalent to taking more than half a million cars off the road for a year, according to a February report from Aspen Skiing Company, the project’s backer. ....
