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. At basecamp\, water will be filtered daily from the Gila River. All tools and PPE will be provided\, as well as dinner Apr 27-May 1 and breakfast Apr 28-May 2 (not Apr 27). You will need to provide and carry your own lunches\, backpack\, tent and sleeping bag/pad.

SUMMARY:Pueblo Park (Gila NF\, Glenwood RD)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: Six NMVFO volunteers joined volunteers from New Mexico Wild and Heart of the Gila to improve navigability along 3 trails in the Glenwood RD of the Gila. \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nDescription: NMVFO is partnering with Heart of the Gila and New Mexico Wild on a trail maintenance project on the Gila National Forest’s Glenwood Ranger District. Located in a stand of old growth ponderosas\, the Pueblo Park Campground  (road map) is a perfect jumping-off point to the WS Mountain Trail and the Dangerous Park Trail. We will also work on the Cottonwood Trail\, which intersects with Dangerous Park. Work will include brushing\, deadfall removal\, reestablishing washed-out tread\, and possibly some creek-crossing reconstruction in the canyons. Five volunteers plus one leader will work in each crew. Hikes to work sites could be up to 4 miles for those who choose the more distant sites. Tools will be provided.\nVolunteers will be asked to bring their own face masks and work gloves\, both mandatory. Also mandatory: Sturdy boots\, long pants\, long sleeves when doing brush work or saw work\, eye protection (sunglasses)\, and hard hats (provided). Each day volunteers will need to bring a day pack\, rain gear\, sun protection\, lunch and snacks\, and enough water for a full day of work. Mornings will be chilly and afternoons are likely to be hot\, so layers are recommended.\nFor camping\, volunteers are asked to supply their own gear\, including a tent\, sleeping pad\, sleeping bag\, headlamp and camp chair\, as well as their own plate\, bowl\, eating utensils and coffee mug. Camping will be available the night before the project begins (Wednesday night) and the night the project ends (Saturday night). It is highly recommended that you arrive on Wednesday evening. The campground can accommodate vehicles up to 40’ in length\, but there are no hookups. There are vault toilets and picnic tables at the campground. There is no water at the campground\, but water will be provided. Volunteers may wish to bring a supplemental supply as well. Cooks will provide breakfast May 13th\, 14th & 15th\, and dinner May 13th & 14th. Feel free to bring your own coolers and beverages! Please leave pets at home.\nPlease sign up below by Wednesday\, May 5th. You can contact Jenny B for more info or to be added to the waitlist once the project fills.\nShould be a great project! Hope to see you there!\nDifficulty: 2 Pulaskis\nGroup Size: 10\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 email the project leader.

SUMMARY:Railroad Canyon (Gila NF)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: Over the course of four days NMVFO partnered with the NM Back Country Horsemen\, Gila Chapter\, to remove hundreds of downed trees\, brush back over 4 miles of trail\, re-bench and improve tread along 2 miles of trail\, and build 16 cairns on the Gallinas and East Railroad Canyon trails near Emory Pass in the Gila. \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nDescription: Come join NMVFO and the Gila chapter of the Back Country Horsemen of NM as we partner to maintain some trails on the west side of Emory Pass in the Gila. Trails will include Railroad Canyon\, Gallinas Canyon\, and East Railroad Canyon. This is a car-camping project with a fair amount of hiking each day\, including one day where volunteers (any who choose to) will hike 3-plus miles one way to the work site\, with significant elevation gain. Tasks will include re-benching trail and some brushwork. All tools will be provided. USFS rules require us to wear heavy boots\, long pants\, long sleeves\, hard hats (provided) and eye protection (sunglasses okay) while working. Please also bring a large daypack to carry lunch\, snacks\, sunblock\, rain gear\, and a full-day’s supply of water.\nWe will meet at 1:00 PM on Wednesday May 19th at the Iron Creek Campground near Emory Pass\, which is also where we will camp. Please arrive at the campground in plenty of time to get set up and settled in before we “circle up” (the project leader will be there to greet you and point out sites). Volunteers will need to provide their own camping gear\, including tent\, sleeping bag and pad\, camp chair\, headlamp\, etc\, plus a cooler/beverages if desired. Breakfasts and dinners will be provided; volunteers will supply their own lunches and snacks. Please bring your own plate\, bowl\, utensils\, and coffee mug. There is room at the campground for small trailers. There are pit toilets but no potable water\, so please bring as much of your own water as possible. The cooks and project leader will also bring several containers\, as well as filters to take water from the creek.\nAs a reminder\, pets are not allowed on NMVFO projects.\nIf you’d like to join us\, please sign up below by Tuesday May 11th. See you there!\nDifficulty: 2 Pulaskis\nGroup Size: 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 email the project leader.
