SUMMARY:Los Luceros Historic Site - Saturday Invasive Tree Removal
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: Eight NMVFO volunteers removed over 1200 invasive Russian olive tree stems from 0.52 miles of the Bosque Loop trail at the Los Luceros Historic Site in Alcalde. They used loppers and hand saws to cut the trees at ground level and piled the cut trees. They also macerated the trunks of the trees with hatchets to prevent sprouting. The volunteers enjoyed the beautiful fall colors of the cottonwood and New Mexico olive trees and the fresh from the tree apples from the Site’s 1\,000-treee apple orchard.  \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: Join NMVFO on Saturday\, October 11th starting at 8:30 am as we remove invasive trees (Russian olive and tamarisk) from the bosque at the Los Luceros Historic Site just north of Espanola.

SUMMARY:Galisteo Basin Fence Removal
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: NMVFO volunteers returned to the Galisteo Basin to remove barbed wire fencing from the Dovetail Preserve near Lamy\, NM. Fence segments totaling two thirds of a mile were taken down\, coiled\, and stacked. This was NMVFO’s 4th year of fence removal from Dovetail and the adjacent Galisteo Basin Preserve\, resulting in all interior fencing from the old Thornton Ranch now being taken down for the benefit of wildlife and recreational users.  \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: After 4 years of removing fencing in the Galisteo Basin Preserves\, join NMVFO for what may be our final fence-removal project with our partner\, the Santa Fe Conservation Trust.  Cattle fencing of this type presents a barrier and hazard for wildlife and people.  We will meet at the Cottonwood Trailhead at 9:00 AM\, then carpool to the worksites.  Fence removal will continue to 3PM\, or until these sections of fence are removed. \nWork: Our focus is on two stretches of 4-strand barbed wire fencing.  Our work will include cutting and coiling the barbed wire\, as well as pulling and stacking all metal “T-Post” fenceposts.  A hike of less than a mile is required to reach one of the fences. \nFood/Water: Volunteers should bring their own snacks  and water.  After completion of the project\, all volunteers are invited to share a late-afternoon meal at the historic Legal Tender restaurant in Lamy\, NM. \nTools/Equipment/Clothing:  NMVFO will supply wire-cutters\, loppers for brush-clearing\, and post-pullers.  If any volunteers have their own fencing pliers (linesmen pliers also work well)\, please bring them with you.  Volunteers should wear long sleeved shirts and long pants\, eye protection/sunglasses\, sturdy leather gloves and boots\, and a day pack don’t forget your rain gear. \nDifficulty:  due to barbed wire hazard \nGroup Size: 20. If the project is full\, please email the project leader to be put on a waitlist. \nPlease read our Volunteer Guidelines before signing up for this project.\nOn the signup form please leave the "Number of Volunteers" at 1. If you would like to sign up additional volunteers please submit multiple signups.
