SUMMARY:Perea Nature Area (BLM Rio Puerco)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: Thirteen NMVFO volunteers joined two BLM employees and two interns to perform a variety of tasks that improved the area.  Their work included transporting and spreading an estimated 15 tons of gravel onto parts of the main trail and side trails\, including numerous steps leading to bridges; closing and revegetating several unapproved social trails with brush and transplanted cactuses; reconstructing the area’s dilapidated wildlife viewing shelter; cutting and trimming plants intruding on the trail’s multiple bridges; and pruning an old Cottonwood tree with branches overhanging a bench. \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nThe Perea Nature Trail makes a one-mile loop through a riparian area adjacent to the normally dry Rio Salado. Located on level terrain and constructed with a gravel surface\, the trail crosses the old riverbed on wooden bridges and takes visitors past bird-viewing stops and benches. Click here For an informative brochure.\nDescription: We will be improving the condition of the trail by shoring up eroding segments of the tread\, trimming back overgrown vegetation\, and removing bunch grasses and noxious weeds from and alongside the trail. We may also partially reconstruct a bird-viewing shelter. Phyllis Martinez (co-leader)\, a recently retired USFS trail working expert\, and Jackie Leyba of the BLM will be supervising the work. Volunteers are advised to wear sturdy boots or shoes\, work gloves\, and dress in layers based on the latest weather forecast. Also bring a day pack with a couple liters of water\, snacks\, food for lunch\, and personal items. Depending on attendance\, we may well finish work by mid-afternoon\, but volunteers may leave earlier if need be. To register for this project\, click on the sign-up button at the bottom of this page by April 8. If you are bringing another family member or guest\, fill out a separate form for them.\nPandemic Protocols: The project will be limited to 15 volunteers\, divided into separate teams of 5 or fewer. Masks are mandatory\, and volunteers will endeavor to maintain social distancing as they work. Except for people from the same household\, carpooling will not be possible. If you wake up with any symptoms of Covid-19 or do not feel well for any reason\, please don’t hesitate to stay home. For more information on our protocols click here.\nDirections: The trail’s parking lot is located on US 550 about 23 miles west from its intersection with I-25 in Bernalillo. Just after crossing a bridge over the Rio Salado\, turn left into the parking lot. There is a Speedway gas station/convenience store less than a half mile farther west on 550 on the outskirts of the village of San Ysidro. It has snacks\, coffee\, other drinks\, and indoor facilities (to which volunteers can drive during the work day if necessary). Here is a Google map.\nDifficulty: 1 Pulaski\nGroup Size:\nNo more than 15 \nFor more information: If this is your first NMVFO project\, you can find more information about difficulty ratings and what to expect at our Volunteer FAQ’s\, or Larry at l.benson@nmvfo.org.\nPlease read our volunteer guidelines before signing up for this project.\nSign Up

DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: 16 volunteers worked 2 days refurbishing just under 3 miles of trail by brushing back overgrowth. They also removed 4 deadfall from the trail.\nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nDescription: Come join us in the Manzanos! We will climb up Bosque Trail – elevation gain 1200’\, distance 2 miles – to the Manzano Crest Trail\, where we will clear a few fallen trees on upper Bosque. At the Crest Trail we will go south about 1.5 miles and brush back a heavily overgrown section. On Sunday we will go back up Bosque and work north for about a mile. Because of the distance and elevation gain this is at least a moderately difficult project (2 Pulaskis).\nCamping will be available Friday and Saturday night at the Bosque Trailhead\, which has a few tables and a pit toilet. Meals will be provided Saturday morning\, Saturday night and Sunday morning. Bring your own food for lunch Saturday and your own drinks. Also\, you will need to provide your own camping gear.

For more information\, go to https://nmvfo.org/covid-19-protocols/.\nDirections: Go east from Albuquerque to the Tijeras exit and take Highway 337 south about 30 miles to the “T” junction with Highway 55. There turn right (west) and follow it 3 miles to Tajique. In Tajique turn right on the Fourth of July Campground Road (well signed\, at the old stone church and graveyard) and take the good dirt road 7 miles to the Fourth of July Campground. Continue past the campground 3 miles where the road gets much rougher and more rutted. High clearance vehicles are needed for these last 3 miles.

Camping in the vicinity the night before is highly recommended. The hike to basecamp is approximately 4 miles\, and we will work mainly upstream from there. The first and last days will be hiking days bookending the trail work\, with a half-day in the middle to relax and explore the surrounding area.\nThe BCH will provide horse support.
