SUMMARY:Valles Caldera Wetland Restoration
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: Nineteen NMVFO volunteers joined Steve Vrooman from Keystone Restoration Ecology and Maryann McGraw from Rio Puerco Alliance to re-wet meadow areas in Valles Caldera National Preserve. Volunteers gathered and loaded three trailer loads of large rocks and transported them to dispersed work sites to build one-rock dams and other structures\, helping to plug channels and spread out water in wetland areas. Tasks included plugging gaps in three contour swales and repairing four excavator plugs near the East Fork of the Jemez River. Volunteers also built a culvert inlet structure to raise a pond six inches\, and used sod to repair six plug and pond structures up the main drainage.\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\n  \nDescription: On Friday\, October 21\, NMVFO will partner with Rio Puerco Alliance and Keystone Restoration Ecology to help restore a wetland area in the southeast corner of the Valle Grande\, the largest valley in Valles Caldera National Preserve. This is part of a larger New Mexico Environmental Department (NMED) wetlands project\, the East Fork Headwaters Restoration Project\, which will restore 400 acres of the headwaters of the East Fork of the Jemez River. Our job will be to put some finishing touches on the project by building rock dams along a spring-fed channel and a small intermittent creek. The site is close to a road and can be accessed with a short hike. \nMore info about meeting location to follow\, for those who sign up. Hope you can join us! \nPlease sign up below by Tuesday\, October 18. One person per signup. A reminder that pets are not allowed on NMVFO projects. \nDifficulty:  \nGroup Size: 20 \nFor more information: If this is your first NMVFO project\, you can find more information about difficulty ratings and what to expect at Volunteer FAQ\, or email the project leader. \nPlease read our Volunteer Guidelines before signing up for this project. \nThis project is full but you can still sign up to be put on the waitlist. \nGet on the Waitlist

SUMMARY:Valle de Oro NWR (FWS)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: For the next-to-last scheduled project of NMVFO’s 40th Anniversary Year\, a team of 14 NMVFO Volunteers and Valle de Oro staff dismantled old wooden walkways\, cleared wooden debris\, and sorted the material for re-application. The team also cleared over 500 feet of invasive vegetation along the east fence line and bike path. A great crew using impact wrenches\, sawzalls\, hammers\, crowbars and grit worked together to safely complete this unique project at the Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge\, the Southwest’s first urban wildlife refuge.\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:  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. \nThe project will entail clearing vegetation\, disassembling wooden walkways\, and sorting material for future disposal. If we have sufficient volunteers\, we will remove invasive species along a perimeter bike path\, and disassemble a small greenhouse for future use by the refuge. We will meet in the Valle de Oro old farm house parking lot at 8:00 AM on Saturday\, October 29\, 2022 to sign in\, review the planned work and conduct a safety briefing. \nVolunteers must wear sturdy boots (preferred) or shoes (no sandals)\, long pants\, long sleeve shirts\, eye protection\, and work gloves. Hardhats will be required and provided if you do not have a personal hardhat. Bring sun protection and apparel appropriate for the predicted weather. Also bring a day pack with water\, snacks\, lunch\, and other necessities. NMVFO will provide all tools required for the project. We plan to finish work by 4:00 pm. Registrants will be updated by email in the week(s) before the project with the latest information. If you are not feeling well on the day of the project\, please text the Project Leader at 505-705-2584. \nDirections:  Valle de Oro is located approximately 10 miles south of Albuquerque’s Big I (Map). Coming from the North\, take Interstate 25 South to Rio Bravo (Exit 220). Go West on Rio Bravo\, then South on Broadway for approximately 2.25 miles. Turn West on Desert\, cross the Railrunner tracks\, then turn South on 2nd Street. After about .75 miles the entrance to Valle de Oro will be on your right. After you enter the Refuge\, take your first right through a gated entry and proceed to the old farm house (the “pink adobe” building). Green NMVFO signs will direct you to the project parking area. Please plan to be there a little before 8:00 AM. \nTo sign up:  Click on the button below and fill out the contact information. If the project is full\, we will start a waitlist. \nDifficulty:  \nGroup Size: 20 \nFor more information: If this is your first NMVFO project\, you can find more information about difficulty ratings and what to expect at Volunteer FAQ\, or email the project leader. \nPlease read our Volunteer Guidelines before signing up for this project. \nThis project is full but you can still sign up to be put on the waitlist. \nGet on the Waitlist
