SUMMARY:Black Range Reroute III (Gila NF)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: Four volunteers and two CDTC staff brushed five miles of CDT\, cleared 38 trees\, and added final touches to the new Black Range reroute. \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nPlease sign up HERE. \nFrom our partners at CDTC: \n“Project Description: The Continental Divide Trail Coalition is partnering with New Mexico Volunteers for the Outdoors and the Black Range Ranger District (Forest Service) to complete a 1.5 mile reroute of the CDT in the Black Range of the Gila National Forest\, west of Chloride\, NM. A Youth Conservation Corps has already put time and energy into this reroute – but there is still progress to be made! The Forest Service has made this construction project a priority and would like to see it completed this fall. CDTC and NMVFO are proud to assist in the completion of this reroute and successfully remove it from a dirt Forest Service road. Enjoy the solitude and remoteness of the Black Range while swinging tools and creating a brand new portion of a National Scenic Trail. \nPlan: Volunteers will arrive between 4pm and 6pm on October 22nd at the Monument Cabin to pitch camp and get situated. CDTC staff will be there to direct volunteers where to camp. Volunteers will hit the trail on October 23rd working north from the Caledonia trailhead on the CDT with the goal of completing the roughly 1.5 mile reroute and adding finishing touches as needed. Work will be wrapped up by 1:30PM on October 26th to ensure volunteers have ample time to pack up camp and drive safely home. \nMeeting Time and Place: Thursday October 22nd between 4pm and 6pm at Monument Cabin. Click here for Google Maps directions. \nDirections to Meeting Place: From I-25 take Exit 83 and head west towards Winston and Chloride via NM-52/County Rd CO06. Once in Chloride head west out of town on Wall St\, which turns into County Rd CO53 for 12 miles until the cabin is on your left. Please note that the cabin is not marked but CDTC staff will be present to guide volunteers. CDTC highly recommends entering directions to the cabin into your phone via Google maps before departing. Google maps will work without cell phone service via your phone’s GPS. \nCOVID-19: Please take the time to review CDTC COVID-19 Guidelines & Procedures on the CDTC website\, or access it here. \nDay-of Project Contact: CDTC Field Instructor Isaac Miller\, 406-224-3998\, imiller@continentaldividetrail.org\, or CDTC Field Instructor Beckett Wagner\, 330-840-0369\, bwagner@continentaldividetrail.org. \nVehicle Requirements: 4WD High Clearance. \nDaily Hiking Distance: 2-3 miles a day. \nWork Difficulty: Strenuous – Moderately high elevation with strenuous tasks such as digging new trail\, removing rocks/boulders and brushing. \nWhat’s Provided: Tools\, project materials\, personal protective equipment\, work site supervision\, and qualified First Aid personnel. Volunteers are responsible for providing their own food and water for the duration of the project. \nFood and Water: Unfortunately\, due to COVID-19\, volunteers will not be able to share food or water with others outside their household. Volunteers are responsible for all their meals and must come prepared with breakfast\, lunch\, dinner\, water\, and snacks for the entire duration of the project. CDTC staff will have extra water for volunteers at the campsite. \nAmenities: None. This is a primitive campsite with no bathrooms or running water\, but CDTC staff will dig a latrine for volunteers to use.” \nDifficulty: 3 Pulaskis \nGroup Size: 7 Volunteers\, 3 Leaders \nFor more information:  If this is your first NMVFO project\, you can find more information about difficulty ratings and what to expect at http://nmvfo.org/volunteer/volunteer-faq\, or email the project leader.

SUMMARY:Black Range Reroute II (Gila NF)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: Four NMVFO volunteers\, together with two staff members from the Continental Divide Trail Coalition and a CDTC volunteer built approximately 2500 ft of new trail through steep rocky terrain along the CDT. The new work reroutes the CDT away from a road-walk in the Black Range ranger district of the Gila National Forest not far from the town of Chloride\, NM. Previously a youth crew and another CDTC volunteer group had begun work on the 1.5 mile reroute. Our crew finished the reroute on Oct 17th\, then spent the next day doing finish-up maintenance work\, adding final touches to approximately 1.25 miles of the new trail before heading home. \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nPlease sign up HERE. \nFrom our partners at CDTC: \n“Project Description: The Continental Divide Trail Coalition is partnering with New Mexico Volunteers for the Outdoors and the Black Range Ranger District (Forest Service) to complete a 1.5 mile reroute of the CDT in the Black Range of the Gila National Forest\, west of Chloride\, NM.

SUMMARY:Red Canyon Spur Trails (Mountainair RD)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: The project team cleared about 1.3 miles of dead-fall on the Box Springs trail and cleared and made drainage improvements on about 1.5 miles of the Red Canyon and the Red Canyon Spur trails. \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nDescription: The location for this project changed from the original schedule. We will be working the spur trails that originate in Red Canyon Campground in the Manzano Mountains. It will be a one-day project\, but camping will be available at Red Canyon Campground without any charge if you want to arrive Friday night. There are no hook-ups at the campground but there are vault toilets. The work will include clearing tread and removing fallen trees. This area is outside of Wilderness so we could use chainsaws\, but if any volunteers are interested in getting experience with manual crosscut saws\, we will use those. Bring food and water for the day. We will begin working at 8:30 AM. Volunteers are required to bring face masks\, work gloves\, sturdy boots\, eye protection (sunglasses)\, long pants and long sleeves. NMVFO will provide hard hats and tools. Reminder: Pets are not allowed on NMVFO projects. \nWe will be practicing social distancing on this project. Specific details will be provided prior to the start of the project. \nMeet at Red Canyon hiker parking lot – details will be provided later. \nDifficulty: 1 Pulaski \nGroup Size: Up to 13 \nFor more information: If this is your first NMVFO project\, you can find more information about difficulty ratings and what to expect at http://nmvfo.org/volunteer/volunteer-faq\, or email the project leader. \n\nSign Up

SUMMARY:Sawyer Class
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: Six volunteers earned their Crosscut Sawyer Certification during a one-day class taught by Jennifer Sublett\, USFS\, at the Panchuela Campground\n \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nDescription: Earn your USFS Crosscut Sawyer Certification at this all-day class. Sawyer certification is recommended for frequent NMVFO volunteers who desire to advance their trail maintenance skills. This class is for those who want to become active sawyers\, who really intend to use these new skills on trail projects.   You do not need to be certified in First Aid/CPR\, and Blood Borne Pathogens to take the crosscut saw class\, but will need them to become certified Forest Service sawyers. The class is taught by Jennifer Sublett\, USFS. \nWhat is Sawyer Certification? “The USFS requires a sawyer\, the primary operator of a crosscut saw or chainsaw\, to be trained\, evaluated\, and certified through a training program that meets the intent of FSM 2358.03 Policy. Sawyers must have a current National Sawyer Certification Card and meet any other specified qualifications to perform assigned saw work\, including currency in first aid CPR training when engaged in sawing activities. The National Sawyer Certification Card is issued with a three-year expiration date\, which can be subject to review any time prior to expiration.” \nLearn about: binding\, proper use of PPE\, bucking\, risk assessment\, danger trees\, underbucking\, hung trees\, use of wedges\, escape routes\, snags\, widow makers\, and so much more… \nA volunteer does not need sawyer certification when using our smaller folding saws to cut downfalls\, but the concepts learned in this class will also help users of smaller saws become safer and more effective. For larger downfalls\, where a 2-person or 1-person crosscut saw is used\, at least one operator must be sawyer certified. \nMeet at: Panchuela Admin Site. Coordinates 35.829569N  105.663997W. Travel to Panchuela Campsite near the Pecos Wilderness\, and pass beyond the gate near the camp host site to the Admin Site\, following the NMVFO green signs. You do not need a high-clearance vehicle on Panchuela Road– it is paved all the way\, though the roadway narrows to one lane with turn-offs. \nBring: Sack lunch\, snacks. Wear long pants\, long sleeve shirt\, boots\, gloves\, and eye protection\, as on a trail project. Bring your hard hat if you have one\, otherwise NMVFO will provide one. \nDifficulty: 2 Pulaskis (moderately strenuous)\n \nGroup Size: Up to 6\n \nPlease sign up below. Closing date for sign-ups is Wednesday September 30th\, 2020. \n<< THE CLASS IS NOW FULL. IF YOU SIGN UP\, YOU WILL BE PUT ON A WAIT-LIST FOR THE NEXT CLASS\, WHICH JENNIFER IS WILLING TO SCHEDULE SOON\, DEPENDING ON INTEREST >> \nSign Up

SUMMARY:Women's Trail Workshop (Sandia RD)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: On Saturday October 3rd\, 6 participants attended an outdoor trail-building workshop at Pine Flat\, at the south end of the Sandia Ranger District. After learning some basics about tools\, trail design and construction\, as well as tips on safety and body mechanics\, volunteers worked on a reroute of the Gamble Spur trail. An enjoyable day\, with perfect weather for building new trail! \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nOctober 3rd is our new\, rescheduled date. \nDescription: Enjoy the camaraderie and support of other women as we learn or review some trail-building basics\, then spend the day building new trail. We will go over tools\, techniques\, and best practices\, with plenty of time for questions and feedback. \nWe’ll meet at the north end of the parking lot at the Sandia Ranger District Visitor Center (SRD) and carpool caravan a few miles south to the Pine Flat Picnic Area. From there we’ll hike a little over a quarter mile\, carrying tools supplied by the Forest Service. Once at the work location we’ll settle in for an hour(ish) of “classroom” instruction and questions before beginning our hands-on practice\, building trail to reroute some trenched-out sections on Gamble Spur. We’ll stop for a 30-minute lunch break in the middle of our work day. \nPlease bring your own work gloves and face mask\, as well as lunch\, snacks and plenty of water in a day pack. Please also bring a hat\, sunblock\, rain gear and sturdy boots. A notebook and pen could also prove useful! Forest Service rules require that while working we wear hard hats (supplied)\, eye protection (sunglasses okay)\, long pants\, long sleeves\, boots and work gloves\, as well as face coverings when within 6 feet of each other. It could will(!) be chilly in the morning during “classroom” time\, so bring an extra layer. After work we’ll begin hiking out at around 3:00\, or possibly earlier depending on group energy. \nWe’ll be joined by one or two Forest Service personnel who will be available to help demonstrate and answer questions throughout the day. \nPlease register below by Thursday\, Oct 1st. If you are bringing a friend\, please fill out a form for her as well. Hope you can join us! \nDifficulty: 2 Pulaskis \nCost: Free! \nFor more information: If this is your first NMVFO project\, you can find more information about difficulty ratings and what to expect at http://nmvfo.org/volunteer/volunteer-faq\, or email the project leader. \nSign Up

SUMMARY:Water Canyon CG (Magdalena RD)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: 15 volunteer trail workers and 2 volunteer cooks assembled in the Magdalena Mountains for a weekend of trail work\, removing 107 deadfall from the following trails: South Canyon #11\, Copper Canyon #10\, Hop Canyon #25/#25A\, and North Baldy #8. \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nDescription: Please join us in the rustic and scenic Magdalena mountains for a weekend of hard work and good times! We have numerous geographically dispersed trails that need a smaller amount of deadfall removal and brushing work\, therefore the plan will be to have several small teams tackle these trails independently. Currently we plan on working on some of the most popular trails including on Mesa Trail #13\, South Baldy Trail #11\, Hop Canyon Trail #25 to North Baldy Trail to #25a (a ~9.5 mile loop)\, and possibly Copper Canyon Trail #10. We’ll have the Water Canyon Campground group area reserved for tent camping\, which includes a very large wooden gazebo with tables\, fire pit\, and toilets nearby. The group site will be available from Friday 25 September @4PM. Unfortunately\, we won’t have a cook so you must provide your own meals\, however we will have a stove\, water and wash basins (and maybe some delicious homemade dessert Saturday night). Our project chefs will keep us well fed with breakfast Saturday\, dinner Saturday\, and breakfast Sunday morning. All tools and training will be provided….. more details to follow! As always\, Covid-19 protocols will be in place during this project. \nDifficulty: 2 Pulaski (moderately strenuous) \nGroup Size: 15\n \nSign up deadline is Tuesday\, 9/22 at 5pm:\n \nFor more information: If this is your first NMVFO project\, you can find more information about difficulty ratings and what to expect at http://nmvfo.org/volunteer/volunteer-faq\, or email the project leader. \n Sign-ups are now closed.

SUMMARY:Trail Workshop - Field (ABQ Open Space)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: Rerouted part of a heavily eroded unofficial trail on sloping terrain on the north side of the opening to Embudo Canyon just south of Trail 365. Closed old trail with numerous ditches and transplanted cholla and prickly pear cactuses. Twenty-three volunteers\, including 13 first-timers\, built 700 feet of new trail and closed 600 feet of old trail. \nYoutube: \n \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\n  \nDescription: Please sign up below. This trail work training project with the Albuquerque Open Space Division follows up on an introductory classroom session held at the Albuquerque REI Store on March 12\, though other volunteers are also welcome to attend. Experienced Open Space and NMVFO trail workers will help mentor new volunteers as we maintain and re-route about 1\,500 feet of an eroding trail in the Foothills Open Space. There will be light work and heavier work\, something for everyone. Tasks will include improving drainage\, shaping the tread of new trail sections\, harvesting cactus\, building rock structures as necessary to buttress new trail\, and closing old eroded trail segments with check dams and transplanted cactus. Photos of last year’s work in similar terrain are available at https://www.flickr.com/photos/78338108@N07/albums/72157707706537074. \nParticipants should wear hiking boots or sturdy shoes (no soft shoes or sandals!)\, work gloves\, long pants\, long-sleeved shirts\, and other apparel appropriate for the predicted weather. Please bring a daypack with snacks\, water\, sunscreen\, and other personal items. We’ll meet at 8:00 AM at the Embudo Trailhead. Starbucks coffee\, juice\, fruit\, and snacks will be available to those who arrive early enough. The Open Space Division will provide a porta-potty. Depending on attendance\, we’ll probably finish work by mid-afternoon\, but volunteers are welcome to leave earlier if necessary. For volunteers bringing other people to the project\, please fill out the sign-up form (below) for each of them as well. \nDirections: Drive to the far eastern end of Indian School Road NE. Here’s a map showing the parking lot and local trail network. \nDifficulty: 1 Pulaski \nGroup Size: No limit \nFor more information: If this is your first NMVFO project\, you can find more information about difficulty ratings and what to expect at http://nmvfo.org/volunteer/volunteer-faq\, or email the project leaders.

SUMMARY:Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge (FWS)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: Sixteen volunteers\, including five first-timers\, pole-Planted 705 Goodings Willows and 70 Cotton Trees in three locations along the Rio Grande. Work included carrying bundles of saplings near pre-drilled holes from a flat-bed trailer and carrying about half of them from where they were soaking in a side channel of the river to reload the trailer. After inserting the saplings as deep as possible into the water table\, we carefully filled in and packed the soil around the plants. (This year the soil was fairly dry and sandy\, but in previous years the soil could contain more clay and be muddy and molded into clods\, which makes the planting more difficult and time-consuming. \nYoutube: \n \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\n\nDescription: Sevilleta NWR (https://www.fws.gov/refuge/sevilleta/) protects a large area north of Socorro containing a great variety of terrain\, flora\, and fauna on both sides of the Rio Grande. Photos of last year’s project can be viewed at https://www.flickr.com/photos/78338108@N07/albums/72157703584324712. \nVolunteers for this year’s project are once again invited to help improve the riparian habitat along the Rio Grande in a restoration area that has been cleared of invasive Tamarisk trees. We will be pole-planting willows and/or cottonwoods to create an environment favorable to a variety of native wildlife\, especially the endangered Southwestern Willow Flycatcher. Refuge staff will have already drilled holes down to the water table with a heavy-duty auger and prepared the cuttings for planting\, so our main job will be inserting these small saplings and back-filling the holes (to include breaking up clods of drying soil). As this task needs to be done in late winter (before the growing season)\, please dress for chilly weather and precipitation depending on the latest forecast for Socorro. The place where we’ll be working may be muddy\, so wearing sturdy water-resistant boots or work shoes is advised if possible. Also bring work gloves and a daypack with lunch\, drinks\, and snacks. Extra water will be available at the work site. Our work may be completed by early or mid-afternoon depending on attendance. Larry will be coordinating carpooling for those interested in offering or receiving a ride. Contact Larry if you have any questions and sign up below by February 13. If you are bringing friends or family members\, please fill out another sign-up form with their information or have them do so. \nDirections: All volunteers are asked to arrive at Sevilleta’s Visitor Center by 8:30 AM to sign in\, take advantage of the indoor plumbing if desired\, and consolidate into vehicles for transportation to the work site. The project leader plans to arrive in time to brew some coffee and greet early arrivals with it\, juice\, and snacks. The center is located 60 miles south of Albuquerque’s “Big-I” on Interstate 25. Take Exit 169 and make a sharp right turn at the first intersection. As shown on the map\, the Visitor Center is about 1/4 of a mile up this road. (https://goo.gl/maps/fKVrKMb3X962) \nDifficulty: 1 Pulaski \nGroup Size: Up to 25 \nLinks for more information:  If this is your first NMVFO project\, you can find more information about difficulty ratings and what to expect at https://nmvfo.org/volunteer/volunteer-faq\, or email the project leader (Larry) at l.benson@nmvfo.org.

SUMMARY:Backpacking in the Aldo Leopold Wilderness
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: Partnering with the Furman Cougar Project\, six volunteers cleared tons of impassable brush and removed 70+ dead trees on Spud Patch Trail #111 in the Aldo Leopold Wilderness (Black Range mountains).  \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nJoin NM Volunteers for the Outdoors for a 4-day backpacking project in the Aldo Leopold Wilderness 11-14 Oct. Our goal is to open up the Spud Patch trail near Hermosa\, NM all the way up to the Black Range Crest Trail near the CDT junction. The hike to basecamp will be around 5 miles\, with nearly 2000ft elevation change. Work will consist of removing fallen trees\, clearing brush\, and building cairns as needed. Note that the 11th & 14th will be travel days and hike in/out days due to the remote nature of the site\, with 12th & 13th as primary trail working days. A\nlarge canvas cooking tent\, basic cooking equipment\, and water are being brought in by a mule team. We are responsible for our own backpacking essentials and food (which can be reimbursed by NMVFO). Contact Nick for more details and to sign up: nick@zder.net \nNote:\nWe are working closely with Dr. Travis Perry and his team on this project as clearing trail corridors will facilitate ongoing cougar research in the area.

SUMMARY:South Baldy Trail #11 (Magdalena RD)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: We had a challenging project in the Magdalena mountains doing maintenance on South Baldy trail. We had a good crew and had fun….we’ll be back for more! Thirteen volunteers removed deadfall\, redefined tread\, re-benched\, brushbacked trail\, built 12 rolling dips\, and refurbished 2.5 miles of trail. \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nCarpooling: We always encourage carpooling\, particularly from the Albuquerque area. If you are interested in carpooling please reply to me directly and I will put you in touch with others interested. Right now I have one volunteer interested in riding with somebody from Abq area. \nArrival & start times: I plan on being at the groupsite between 2-3PM Friday to setup camp & kitchen. For Saturday & Sunday day workers please arrive no later than 8 AM at the groupsite. We’ll do a safety brief\, discuss the plan of attack\, and get busy. \nDriving directions: Most mapping programs will direct you to the incorrect “Water Canyon Group Shelter Picnic Site”. The Water Canyon “Groupsite” where we’ll be at is located beyond the main RV campground\, and there will be a couple green NMVFO signs to help guide you. Attached is a map\, but please use the following Google maps link for your drive in: https://goo.gl/maps/5i1N5sULTYaW6nMV6 \nRoad conditions: It’s a paved road all the way up to the last .5 mile. A major rain storm recently rutted out some parts of the short .5 mile leg of dirt road that leads to the groupsite. It’s certainly passable for 2wd passenger cars but a bit rough. When you get there and you don’t feel comfortable driving it\, I would suggest 1) calling me on cell and I can drive down and shuttle you and your gear to groupsite\, or 2) if you don’t have cell service\, park and walk up to the groupsite and we can shuttle you back to get your gear. There is plenty of parking space and the end of that paved road for us to do this. \nWhat to bring: Sturdy hiking shoes/boots\, light-weight long sleeve shirt\, long pants\, hat\, sunglasses\, bugspray\, sunscreen and work gloves. Plate\, bowl\, coffee mug\, and eating utensils. Daypack with lunch/snacks and plenty of water as we’ll be eating lunch on the trail Saturday. NO PETS! We love dogs too but they are not compatible with trail work. \nCamp logistics: This is a dry campground\, but we’ll be bringing in 40+ gallons for kitchen/camp use. There is a vault toilet at the groupsite. Plenty of tent spots for everyone\, although we’ll be a little tighter than we typically setup. I’ll be bringing a small bundle of firewood\, but if you have some extra laying around and have the room…more is always better! \nWeather: We are forecasted to have some excellent weather in mid 70’s day/mid 50’s night\, no rain expected but this is NM so be prepared for random showers. \nMenu: We wanted to share the menu in case you had any dietary issues with our meal plan. There will be vegetarian options for all meals:\nSat breakfast: Sourdough french toast\, bacon\, yogurt\, granola mix\, fruit\, coffee\, chai tea\, milk\, OJ.\nSat dinner: Smoked pork carnitas soft tacos\, pinto beans\, Spanish rice\, pico de gallo\, cheese\, avocado\, lettuce. Peach & apricot crisp with whipped cream.\nSun breakfast: Breakfast burritos with eggs\, hash browns\, green chile\, yogurt\, granola mix\, pumpkin bread\, coffee\, chai tea\, milk\, OJ. \nPlease reach out if you have any questions or concerns. \n-Nick\n575-418-9339 (call or txt) \nJoin NM Volunteers for the Outdoors for a 1.5 day project in the Magdalenas of the Cibola National Forest. We will be rerouting\, improving drainage\, repairing/redefining tread\, clearing brush\, and removing dead fall on South Baldy trail #11. We will be setting up Friday evening 9/20 at the Water Canyon Group Site which has a large gazebo & fire pit. Volunteers can tent camp at the group site. Camp cook will provide breakfast & dinner 9/21\, and breakfast 9/22. Volunteers are asked to supply their own drinking water\, lunches\, plus dinnerware (cup\, plate\, utensils\, etc). Vegetarian options will be available for all meals. Note that the farthest end of the trail is 2.5 miles with over 2\,500 ft elevation gain\, but don’t worry if that seems too much as we can keep you on the lower section. Required: Day pack\, water\, sturdy boots\, long pants\, work gloves\, eye protection (sunglasses). Sorry\, no pets. Due to cooking logistics\, sign-ups close Tuesday evening 9/17. For more information or to sign up\, please contact Nick Tenorio\, nick@zder.net\, 575-418-9339. Hope to see you there!
