SUMMARY:Sierra Mosca Trail #156 Backpack (Santa Fe NF)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: Five volunteers\, and Lynn from USFS\, cleared 122 deadfalls along 3.2 miles of the Sierra Mosca Trail in the Pecos Wilderness. They hiked in 5 miles along Borrego Trail to get to the work site.\n\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n	 \n	\n	Show More\n\n\n\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nDescription: Join NMVFO on a weekend unsupported backpack project (“unsupported” means: bring and cook your own food\, help carry in all tools) on the Sierra Trail #156 in the Pecos Wilderness.  We will hike from Borrego Trailhead 4.0 miles along Borrego #150 to a campsite near the intersection of trails #150 and #156\, near the Rito Gallina. Work will involve sawing to clear blowdowns and some lopping\, on a section of Sierra Mosca Trail. \nThe Sierra Mosca work will combine with two other recent NMVFO projects\, Rito Quemado and Rio Molina\, to provide loop hiking opportunities from Borrego Mesa. \nDifficulty: 3 Pulaskis \nGroup Size: up to 12 \nLocation: We will meet at the turn-off to Borrego Trailhead at the junction with Forest Road 306. Google Maps does not give the correct route to Borrego Trailhead\, so follow the route to Borrego Mesa Campground (Google Maps link) but turn right and park when you see the sign “Borrego Trail\, Rio Medio\, Rio Nambe” 2 miles before the campground. The last 20 minutes of the drive is on a series of graded dirt county and forest service roads\, passable in a  low clearance vehicles with sufficient care (and no recent torrential rains)\, but a high clearance vehicle will be a happier drive. We will meet on Friday\, 6:30PM (with later arrivals by prior arrangement). \nPlease bring:\n• Your own face mask and work gloves (required)\n• Eye protection (sunglasses)\n• Gloves\, long pants\, long-sleeved shirts\, sturdy boots as required by Forest Service rules\n• A packing list will be provided in an update to this listing. Bring a backpack\, tent\, sleeping bag and sleeping pad\, water bottles\, sufficient meals. We will supply group water filters\, but you can also bring your own. Hot water will be available if you do not have your own backpacking stove. \nNMVFO/Forest Service will provide the tools and hard hats. If you need any backpacking equipment\, please email the project leader\, who will be glad to help. \nWe expect to begin hiking back to our cars on Sunday\, August 15\, late afternoon. \nCurrent Covid-19 protocols will be enforced. Details will be provided prior to the start of the project. \nPlease note that pets are not allowed on NMVFO projects. \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. \nPlease read our volunteer guidelines  before signing up for this project.

SUMMARY:Juan Tomas (ABQ Open Space)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: Sixteen NMVFO volunteers and five Open Space Division personnel completed the central section of a new connector trail through the forest on the eastern edge of the 1300-acre Juan Tomas Open Space in the Manzanita Mountains. Volunteers removed grass\, shrubs\, roots\, and levelled ground to create a 2-foot wide tread along.  Although most of the route was flat\, they carved a bench on about 60 feet of slopping terrain and build one rock retaining wall.\n\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n	 \n	\n	Show More\n\n\n\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nAlbuquerque’s Open Space Division maintains five areas east of the Sandia and Manzanita Mountains. The largest of these is the Juan Tomas Open Space\, which encompasses 1\,290 acres of primarily pinon-juniper and ponderosa forest growing at elevations up to 7\,760 feet. It lies adjacent to the Sandia Ranger District’s Oak Flat Group Picnic Area and an extensive multi-use trail network.\nDescription: We will be using a variety of tools to clear vegetation and excavate the forest floor to create about a half mile of new trail that will connect two existing trails. Construction of rock retaining walls may be included. The hikes to and from the ends of the new trail will average about a mile over mostly level terrain. Participants should wear sturdy boots or work shoes (no sandals or soft shoes)\, long pants\, hats\, and other apparel appropriate for the predicted weather\, especially rain gear if the Monsoon season is active. Also bring work gloves and a day pack with water\, snacks\, lunch\, sunscreen\, hand sanitizer\, and personal items. We will likely finish before 4:00 pm\, but if not volunteers are welcome to leave earlier if necessary.\nCheck in August for our latest pandemic precautions at COVID-19 Protocols. If the project becomes full\, you can email Larry to be put on a waitlist. Update(s) with more details will be sent to registrants before the project.\nMeeting Place: Take the Tijeras exit (#175) from Interstate 40 and drive south on State Highway 337 for 9 miles (passing by Juan Tomas Road). Turn east (left) on Oak Flat Road. Continue driving for about 2.5 miles. Turn into the dirt parking area on the left side of the road (in front of a pipe gate) as shown in this satellite view: Link to Map\nDifficulty: 2 Pulaskis\nGroup Size: up to 20\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.\nPlease read our volunteer guidelines before signing up for this project.

SUMMARY:Borrego Mesa Trail #150 (Pecos Wilderness)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: On August 28 \, 2021\, eight volunteers (with 2 cooks providing meals) maintained approximately 2.75 miles of trail in the Pecos Wilderness\, lopping\, removing downfall\, and improving tread. \n\n\n	\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n	 \n	\n	Show More\n\n\n\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nDescription: Come join us as we clear deadfall (trees that have fallen across the trail)\, brush\, and perform other trail work along the Borrego Mesa Trail #150 in the Pecos Wilderness Area of the Santa Fe National Forest (SFNF)! We’ll be car-camping near the trailhead on Friday evening off of FR 306 near Cordova\, NM at around 8600’ elevation. Dinner Friday evening and breakfast Saturday morning will be provided by the NMVFO. COVID protocols will be employed. The drive to parking for the trailhead requires high-clearance vehicles; carpooling may be necessary for a short distance. \nThe hike to the work area will begin with a 600′ descent in elevation followed by a short stream crossing. The rest of the hike is gentle elevation gain next to a small stream. \nYou are welcome to join us on Friday evening (for dinner and camping) or Saturday morning (for breakfast or at the start of the project). Just let us know what your plans are by contacting Gena Robertson at g.robertson@nmvfo.org. \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.
