SUMMARY:Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge
DESCRIPTION:Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge (VODNWR)\, the Southwest’s first urban refuge will serve as an urban oasis for both wildlife and people on 570 acres of a former dairy farm just five miles south of downtown Albuquerque on the Rio Grande. The refuge has little infrastructure and the beginnings of a trail system for us to maintain\, therefore we’re a big part of whatever it will become! This year we’ll be expanding and improving what exists while laying the foundation for the future. \nThere has been a change in scope: this year we’ll be assisting the refuge with native species restoration by planting several hundred Cottonwood saplings in the bosque area along the Rio Grande (click here for proposed planting area). We won’t be the only volunteer group in attendance; we’ll be accompanied by 30-40 volunteers from the Albuquerque Wildlife Federation\, 40 or so volunteers from Wild Earth Guardians\, a troop of Boy Scouts and I would expect a few folks from the Friends of Valle De Oro. \nWe intend to rendezvous with Jennifer Owen-White\, the Refuge Manager\, around 8:30 AM on Saturday\, April 1st and begin work around 9:00 AM; we anticipate ending around 2:00 PM. Volunteers should wear long pants\, long sleeves\, sturdy boots (absolutely no sandals or tennis/athletic shoes)\, work gloves; helmets and eye protection are highly recommended. Also\, bring sun and rain protection (just in case)\, plenty of drinking water and snacks. Lunch will be provided by the Friends of Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge (http://friendsofvalledeoro.wildapricot.org/). Registration for this project is required for planning purposes; please sign up through the project leader (info below) no later than 12:00 PM on Wednesday\, March 29th. \nI-25 exit for Rio Bravo\, proceed west to 2nd Street\, then left (south) on 2nd Street. When the road turns do not follow it – continue on the straight\, older road. VDONWR is located at 7851 2nd Street SW\, look for the black mail box on right hand side of the road. \nIf this is your first NMVFO project\, you can find more information about what to expect at http://nmvfo.org/volunteer/volunteer-faq or email or call me (Chris)\, the project leaders\, fritzsche.christopher@gmail.com\, (505) 504-3768 or Erin\, (406) 781-1666 & John\, (505) 999-9182 Salinas\, egaberla@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Airstrip Mesa Trail
DESCRIPTION:Interested in lending a hand in a remote and seldom visited part of western New Mexico? If so\, join us at Airstrip Mesa near Luna\, New Mexico in the Apache National Forest which is administered by the Gila. What we’ll be doing is reopening an old trail that will provide a loop with the Trout Creek Trail. Our job will be to reconstruct tread and do some heavy duty brushing of the trail. We’ll work all day Friday and Saturday and half a day on Sunday. \nThis will be a car camp near our work site. We will not be in an organized campground; instead\, we’ll be in an out of the way area that offers a lot of solitude. The VFO will be supplying breakfast on Friday\, Saturday and Sunday plus dinner on Friday and Saturday. Each of us will be responsible for our own lunches\, snacks and beverages\, adult or otherwise. Most folks will arrive Thursday afternoon and work the 2 ½ days. If\, however\, your schedule doesn’t permit\, you can join us anytime on Friday or even Saturday morning. \nWe will be at about 7\,000 feet so we can expect just about any kind of weather in late April. For those unfamiliar with the VFO\, check out our Web page at nmvfo.org. It will supply you with information about the organization\, and\, most helpful\, provide a link to Frequently Asked Question. \nFor other questions you might have about the VFO and this projectt or\, best of all\, would like to sign up for Airstrip Mesa\, please contact Jim Scanlon at scanlon.jim@gmail.com or call 505-385-0517. \nHope to hear from you and see you on the trail.
