See https://www.cabq.gov/parksandrecreation/open-space/lands/east-mountain-open-space. The largest of these is the Juan Tomas Open Space\, which encompasses 1\,290 acres of primarily piñon-juniper forest growing as high as 7\,760 feet. It lies adjacent to the Sandia Ranger District’s extensive multi-use trail network. \nTo follow up on projects during the past 2 years\, we will be using a variety of tools to clear vegetation and excavate the forest’s surface to create a smooth well-drained trail segment. No strenuous hiking will be involved. Participants should wear sturdy boots or work shoes (no sandals or soft shoes)\, long pants\, long-sleeved shirts\, 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 and lunch\, sunscreen\, hand sanitizer\, and personal items. We may finish before 4:00 pm; volunteers are also welcome to leave earlier if necessary. \nPandemic Precautions: We will be practicing social distancing with masks and other related protocols. Unfortunately\, carpooling will be restricted to members of the same household\, and the size of the workforce will be limited to 15 people. So sign up below as soon as possible to avoid being placed on a waiting list. An update with more details will be emailed to registrants shortly before the project. \nMeeting Place: Take the Tijeras exit from Interstate 40\, drive south on State Highway 337 for 9 miles (passing by Juan Tomas Road). Turn east (left) on Oak Flat Road. Continue east (past the Oak Flat Group Picnic Area) for about 1.8 miles. Turn into the gravel parking area on the left side of the road in front of a pipe gate as shown on this satellite view. \nDifficulty:  1 Pulaski \nGroup Size: Up to 15 \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

SUMMARY:Trigo Canyon Small Group Project - Continued
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: Two small groups of four volunteers each removed deadfall from the Trigo Canyon Trail in the Manzano Mountains. One group started from the east side hiking up the New Canyon trail until they reached the crest and then proceeded to clear deadfall from the Trigo Canyon trail. The other group started at the Trigo Canyon trailhead and continued clearing deadfall from where the previous project ended. In all 90 trees were removed from the trail over the course of the day. There is still a section of the trail that needs to be cleared. \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)  \nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nRemove deadfall from the Trigo Canyon Trail. We will start out from the trailhead and hike up to the where the previous project ended and clear any deadfall that crosses the trail. If there is enough people another group will start from the crest and work down the trail.

SUMMARY:Cole Spring (Sandia RD) - CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:Description: Please sign up below. Join us for a day and a half of work near the intersection of the Faulty and Cañoncito trails in the Sandia Mountains. Volunteers will build a spur trail\, redefine existing tread\, create water protection measures\, and build a buck & rail fence to direct traffic and mitigate erosion in the vicinity of Cañoncito Spring. We will camp nearby at the Cole Spring picnic area. Read on for details…\nOn Friday evening we will meet at the Sandia Ranger District (SRD) Visitor Center\, at the north end of the parking lot. From there we’ll caravan to our campsite at Cole Spring. The road to Cole Spring is rough\, and 4WD is best. The Forest Service would prefer that we use as few vehicles as possible\, so carpooling is encouraged. There is a secure (fenced) area at the SRD to leave cars behind. We pass through a locked gate to get to Cole Spring and will not leave the area until the end of the project\, except in case of emergency.\nCamping at Cole Spring should be pleasant\, with picnic tables and shade. Nights could be cold\, so pack accordingly! Besides tent\, sleeping bag/pad\, headlamp\, etc\, a camp chair and cooler are nice to have. Please bring your own dinnerware and eating utensils. NMVFO will provide breakfast on Saturday and Sunday\, and dinner on Saturday. Volunteers will be responsible for their own lunches and snacks\, as well as dinner on Friday.\nUSFS regulations require that we wear sturdy boots\, long pants and sleeves\, work gloves\, eye protection (sunglasses okay) and hard hats when we work. Hard hats and tools provided. Please also bring a day pack\, water bottle\, sunglasses\, sunblock\, and rain gear.\nNote: Depending on the timeline for clarification and resolution of the court-ordered injunction on select activities on the Cibola (related to potential effects on the Mexican spotted owl)\, there is a chance this project will be moved to the Ellis Trail. If so\, we would work on reroutes of badly eroded sections on that trail\, car-camping nearby. If the location/scope is changed\, we will contact anyone who has already signed up to make sure they still want to join the project.\nPlease register below. Sign-ups for this project close on Saturday\, May 9th.\nDifficulty: 2 Pulaskis\nGroup Size: TBD\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:Perea Nature Area (BLM Rio Puerco) - CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:Description: The Perea Nature Trail makes a one-mile loop through a riparian area adjacent to the normally dry Rio Salado\, with views of the southernmost cliffs of the Jemez Mountain Range. Located on level terrain and constructed with a gravel surface\, the trail crosses the old riverbed on wooden bridges and takes visitors past bird-viewing stops and benches. For an informative brochure\, go to: https://www.blm.gov/sites/blm.gov/files/Brochure%20Perea%20Nature%20Trail_2020_508.pdf\nVolunteers will be improving the condition of parts of the trail by shoring up eroding segments of the tread with concrete pavers and perhaps landscaping timbers\, trimming back overgrown vegetation\, and removing bunch grasses and noxious weeds from the tread and alongside the trail. We may also renovate a bird-viewing shelter. Phyllis Martinez (co-leader)\, a recently retired USFS trail working expert\, will be supervising the work. Volunteers are advised to wear sturdy boots or shoes\, work gloves\, and dress in layers based on the latest weather forecast. Also bring a day pack with a couple liters of water\, snacks\, food for lunch\, and personal items.

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.
