Description: Come join us as we partner with the ORD on a post-Labor Day cleanup along scenic FS Road 376 and the Rio Cebolla in the Jemez Ranger District. Vehicles will drive and “leapfrog” each other, stopping at dispersed campsites and fishing spots to remove litter after the holiday weekend. The section of 376 that we’ll be on is a dirt road, approximately 18 miles in length, washboarded in areas but suitable for all vehicles. Gloves, garbage bags and litter grabbers will be provided. We’ll meet at 8:00 AM at the intersection of Hwy 4 and NM 485 to sign waivers and break into two groups. A small group will drive to the southwest end of the cleanup area, about 5 miles north of the Gilman Tunnels, and leapfrog northeast from there. Meanwhile the second, larger group will caravan north through Jemez Springs and past the San Antonio Campground to begin where FS 376 crosses NM 126, and leapfrog southwest from there. The plan is to work until the two groups meet. Please bring a full tank of gas, lunch, water and snacks, hat and sunblock, and come prepared for the possibility of rain.

You can sign up below until Thursday, September 9. Thanks for volunteering to help in the Jemez!

Difficulty:

Group Size: 25
