SUMMARY:Coyote Creek State Park
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: The Coyote Creek team extensively re-constructed about .7 miles of trail while clearing the overgrown trail corridor. We also built approximately 30 rolling dips to improve water drainage from the trail. Our NMVFO cook\, Cindy\, did a great job keeping the trail crew well fed. Paella was on the menu for Saturday night. Thank you to all who worked on the project\, the New Mexico State Parks crew\, and Steve\, the Campground Host. We greatly appreciate your help and camaraderie. \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nJoin us for a weekend of trail building at Coyote Creek State Park! We will be building new trail from the campground up to scenic overlooks and the creek. Located about an hour southeast of Taos\, the park is nestled in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains along a meandering stream and is enclosed by a forest of spruce and pine. \nCamping will be available Friday\, September 6th through noon Sunday\, September 8th. Potable water\, restrooms\, and showers are located nearby. NMVFO will provide breakfast Saturday and Sunday\, and dinner Saturday night. If you plan to eat with us\, please bring your own camp dinnerware. Dinner on Friday evening and lunch on Saturday and Sunday will be on your own. Carpooling is encouraged. Registration for this project is required for planning purposes; please sign up for this project no later than 12:00 PM on Tuesday\, September 3rd so that we can match provisions to participants. Please let me know if you will be working with us on Saturday only or Sunday only\, or if you plan on bringing your own food. \nVolunteers need to bring their own camping equipment and should wear long pants\, long sleeves\, sturdy boots (no sandals or tennis/athletic shoes) and work gloves. They should also bring sunscreen\, a hat\, rain protection (just in case)\, daypack\, water bottles/packs\, and snacks to get you from meal-to-meal. A camp chair would also be a good idea to bring. Tools will be provided. Just as a reminder\, dogs are not allowed on projects. \nDirections to the hatchery:\nFrom Mora\, drive north on NM 434 approximately 17 miles\, then turn right into the park entrance.

SUMMARY:South Baldy Trail #11 (Magdalena RD)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: We had a challenging project in the Magdalena mountains doing maintenance on South Baldy trail. We had a good crew and had fun….we’ll be back for more! Thirteen volunteers removed deadfall\, redefined tread\, re-benched\, brushbacked trail\, built 12 rolling dips\, and refurbished 2.5 miles of trail. \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nCarpooling: We always encourage carpooling\, particularly from the Albuquerque area. If you are interested in carpooling please reply to me directly and I will put you in touch with others interested. Right now I have one volunteer interested in riding with somebody from Abq area. \nArrival & start times: I plan on being at the groupsite between 2-3PM Friday to setup camp & kitchen. For Saturday & Sunday day workers please arrive no later than 8 AM at the groupsite. We’ll do a safety brief\, discuss the plan of attack\, and get busy. \nDriving directions: Most mapping programs will direct you to the incorrect “Water Canyon Group Shelter Picnic Site”. The Water Canyon “Groupsite” where we’ll be at is located beyond the main RV campground\, and there will be a couple green NMVFO signs to help guide you. Attached is a map\, but please use the following Google maps link for your drive in: https://goo.gl/maps/5i1N5sULTYaW6nMV6 \nRoad conditions: It’s a paved road all the way up to the last .5 mile. A major rain storm recently rutted out some parts of the short .5 mile leg of dirt road that leads to the groupsite. It’s certainly passable for 2wd passenger cars but a bit rough. When you get there and you don’t feel comfortable driving it\, I would suggest 1) calling me on cell and I can drive down and shuttle you and your gear to groupsite\, or 2) if you don’t have cell service\, park and walk up to the groupsite and we can shuttle you back to get your gear. There is plenty of parking space and the end of that paved road for us to do this. \nWhat to bring: Sturdy hiking shoes/boots\, light-weight long sleeve shirt\, long pants\, hat\, sunglasses\, bugspray\, sunscreen and work gloves. Plate\, bowl\, coffee mug\, and eating utensils. Daypack with lunch/snacks and plenty of water as we’ll be eating lunch on the trail Saturday. NO PETS! We love dogs too but they are not compatible with trail work. \nCamp logistics: This is a dry campground\, but we’ll be bringing in 40+ gallons for kitchen/camp use. There is a vault toilet at the groupsite. Plenty of tent spots for everyone\, although we’ll be a little tighter than we typically setup. I’ll be bringing a small bundle of firewood\, but if you have some extra laying around and have the room…more is always better! \nWeather: We are forecasted to have some excellent weather in mid 70’s day/mid 50’s night\, no rain expected but this is NM so be prepared for random showers. \nMenu: We wanted to share the menu in case you had any dietary issues with our meal plan. There will be vegetarian options for all meals:\nSat breakfast: Sourdough french toast\, bacon\, yogurt\, granola mix\, fruit\, coffee\, chai tea\, milk\, OJ.\nSat dinner: Smoked pork carnitas soft tacos\, pinto beans\, Spanish rice\, pico de gallo\, cheese\, avocado\, lettuce. Peach & apricot crisp with whipped cream.\nSun breakfast: Breakfast burritos with eggs\, hash browns\, green chile\, yogurt\, granola mix\, pumpkin bread\, coffee\, chai tea\, milk\, OJ. \nPlease reach out if you have any questions or concerns. \n-Nick\n575-418-9339 (call or txt) \nJoin NM Volunteers for the Outdoors for a 1.5 day project in the Magdalenas of the Cibola National Forest. We will be rerouting\, improving drainage\, repairing/redefining tread\, clearing brush\, and removing dead fall on South Baldy trail #11. We will be setting up Friday evening 9/20 at the Water Canyon Group Site which has a large gazebo & fire pit. Volunteers can tent camp at the group site. Camp cook will provide breakfast & dinner 9/21\, and breakfast 9/22. Volunteers are asked to supply their own drinking water\, lunches\, plus dinnerware (cup\, plate\, utensils\, etc). Vegetarian options will be available for all meals. Note that the farthest end of the trail is 2.5 miles with over 2\,500 ft elevation gain\, but don’t worry if that seems too much as we can keep you on the lower section. Required: Day pack\, water\, sturdy boots\, long pants\, work gloves\, eye protection (sunglasses). Sorry\, no pets. Due to cooking logistics\, sign-ups close Tuesday evening 9/17. For more information or to sign up\, please contact Nick Tenorio\, nick@zder.net\, 575-418-9339. Hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Continental Divide Trail Celebration at Hopewell Lake
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: Members of the NMVFO join the CDTC and several trail groups to celebrate the completion of the section of the Continental Divide Trail that traverses the Carson National Forest. \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \nContinental Divide Trail Celebration\nHopewell Lake\nCarson National Forest\nSaturday\, September 28\, 2019\n9 AM – early afternoon \nAfter more than a decade of planning\, dedication\, and the hard work of Forest Service staff\, partners\, and volunteers alike\, the section of the Continental Divide Trail that traverses the Carson National Forest is finally complete! That’s more than 100 miles of single-track trail that has been built by nearly 500 volunteers and youth corps members – many of whom have returned summer after summer to leave their mark on this special place. In celebration of this incredible accomplishment\, the Carson National Forest and the Continental Divide Trail Coalition would like to invite NMVFO to join us at Hopewell Lake on National Public Lands Day\, September 28. From 9-1\, volunteers will put the finishing touches on years of effort\, and at 1 we’ll officially designate this section of the CDT and celebrate with a cookout and a relaxing afternoon to enjoy our shared public lands. Folks are welcome to join for the entire day or simply for the afternoon’s celebration. More info and RSVP is available at bit.ly/CarsonCDT. No pre-sign-up with NMVFO is required\, just attend\, and join in the celebration.

SUMMARY:Valle de Oro Build Your Refuge Day (FWS)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: Nine NMVFO volunteers assisted Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge staff\, including a team of the Rocky Mountain Youth Corps\, in the harvesting of salt grass at the State of New Mexico’s Bernardo Wildlife Area. They also trained as docents and helped visitors plant the salt grass during Valle de Oro’s annual “Build Your Refuge Day”. \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nValle de Oro Build Your Refuge Day\n“Growing from the Ground Up”\nSaturday\, September 28\, 2019\n10 AM – 2 PM\n7851 2nd Street SW 87105 \nCelebrate National Public Lands Day at Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge. Valle de Oro\, the Southwest’s first urban wildlife refuge\, serves as an urban oasis for both wildlife and people. Located on a former dairy farm just south of Albuquerque\, the refuge works to create a conservation stewardship legacy. Learn about the new Albuquerque Backyard Refuge Program\, participate in hands-on planting demonstrations\, attend workshops on gardening for wildlife\, and more! All activities are free and family-friendly. There will be music\, agua frescas\, food trucks\, partner booths and more! \nNMVFO has built a strong working relationship with the staff at the Valle de Oro.

If you’d like to help staff the VFO table display or work as a docent for the saltgrass planting project\, contact chairperson@nmvfo.org.
