October brings cool nights and warm days and heralds NMVFO'S
annual pilgrimage to help the Refuge prepare for the Festival of the
Cranes. Our primary task this year will be to rehabilitate severe erosion
on the Marsh Overlook Trail. Newcomers are welcome and
experienced trail workers are encouraged to lend their expertise for this
challenging work. Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday and dinner on
Saturday night will be provided by the VFO and prepared by a
volunteer cook. Volunteers should plan to meet at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday morning at the Volunteer Center. Please sign up for this
project by Sunday, October 18. Come for a day or the entire weekend.
Carpooling is encouraged and will be facilitated by the Project Leader.
A limited number of beds will be available on Friday and Saturday nights in a bunkhouse near the
Volunteer Center on a first-come basis. Sorry, beds cannot be reserved; volunteers should bring
camping equipment in case the bunkhouse fills up. Tent and RV/Truck camping is available in the area
near the bunkhouse. Bathrooms with hot showers are available in the Volunteer Center. Bring longsleeved
shirts, long pants, work gloves, work boots, sunhats, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, rain
gear, lunches & snacks, and water bottles.
