SUMMARY:North Field Loop Trail (Valle de Oro NWR)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: For the first project of NMVFO’s 40th Anniversary Year\, we improved the North Field Loop Trail at the Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge\, the Southwest’s first urban wildlife refuge. A team of 17 NMVFO Volunteers\, including 14 current and former Board members\, and Valle de Oro staff cleared over 2000 feet of trail by leveling and defining tread\, clearing debris and invasive vegetation. We also cleared an adjoining acequia of debris and vegetation. A great crew with McClouds and rakes made for a great start to the 2022 project season.\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: The Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge is the Southwest’s first urban wildlife refuge. It serves as an oasis for both wildlife and people. Established in 2012\, the refuge is beginning to transition from agriculture fields to a diversity of native habitats and visitor amenities. We will improve the North Field Loop Trail by leveling and defining tread\, clearing debris and invasive vegetation. We will also clear an adjoining acequia and install signs as time permits. We will meet in the Valle de Oro Visitor Center parking lot at 8:00 AM to sign in. Dakota Dominguez\, Valle de Oro Park Ranger\, will present a short talk on the refuge. We will then proceed by car caravan to the work site to review the planned work and conduct a safety briefing. \nVolunteers must wear sturdy boots (preferred) or shoes (no sandals)\, long pants\, eye protection and work gloves. Long sleeve shirts are recommended. Bring a hat\, sun protection\, and other apparel appropriate for the predicted weather. Also bring a day pack with water\, snacks\, lunch\, and other necessities. We plan to finish work by 4:00 PM. \nPandemic protocols: Covid-safe practices will apply. All participants will be required to wear masks when working in close proximity to others.
