CDT Canjilon (Carson NF)
Contact Leader(s): Christy Osmon, c.osmon@nmvfo.org with any questions.
Description: We partner with the Continental Divide Trail Coalition for a project at Canjilon Lake Trailhead in the Carson National Forest. We expect to do logout with crosscut saws and handsaws, and some treadwork as needed.
If you cannot arrive Thursday night, be there by Friday 8AM, ready to work.
This is a car camp project, and breakfasts and dinners will be provided. Bring your own lunches and snacks.
Please bring a daypack to carry your lunch, snacks, sunblock, rain gear, and a full-day’s supply of water. Volunteers must wear sturdy boots, long pants, long sleeve shirts, eye protection (sunglasses ok), and work gloves. All tools will be provided. All dinners and breakfasts will be provided by our friends at the CDTC, but bring your own lunches. Bring the normal camping gear you would need for a car camp, and a camp chair is a good idea. There may not be a water faucet at base camp, so bring your own supply. Base camp amenities include a vault toilet.
