Description: Join NMVFO for a trail improvement project on the El Porvenir Trail in the Pecos Wilderness along the beautiful Beaver Creek. We’ll be cutting back brush that has encroached onto the trail and clearing trees and branches that have fallen across the trail.

We’ll meet at the El Porvenir Trailhead next to the El Porvenir Campground at the end of State Highway 65 at 8:30 am on June 5, 2021. The hike to the work site is approximately 1 mile.

Please bring:
• Your own face mask and work gloves (required)
• Eye protection (sunglasses)
• A day pack with sunblock, lunch, snacks, and plenty of water

The Forest Service requires that trail workers wear work gloves, long pants, long-sleeved shirts, sturdy boots, and a hard hat. NMVFO/Forest Service will provide the tools and hard hats.

Then current Covid-19 protocols will be enforced. Details will be provided prior to the start of the project.

Please note that pets are not allowed on NMVFO projects.
