Manzano Crest Lopping and Sawing (Mountainair RD)

September 12 @ 6:00 PM - September 13 @ 5:00 PM

Contact Leader(s): Uwe Schroeter, u.schroeter@nmvfo.org; Don Lemke, d.lemke@nmvfo.org with any questions.

Description:  We will remove downfall on the Bosque Peak Trail and then continue lopping going north on the Manzano Crest Trail between Bosque Trail and Cerro Blanco Trail. The work will not be difficult but will involve a 6.8 mi mile (loop) hike with a 1,600 feet elevation gain.  For this reason, we will rate it as difficult.  We will camp at or near the trailhead on Friday and work all day Saturday.  It is about 90 minutes from Albuquerque to the trailhead.  You are welcome to come on Saturday morning also.  We will start at 8:00 am and be back at the trailhead at 5:00.

We will provide food on Friday evening and Saturday morning, but you need to bring your food for the workday.   There will be a limit of 15 people (since this is a wilderness area).  Participants should wear sturdy boots or work shoes (no sandals), long pants, hat, eye protection, gloves, and bring gear for rain.  Pets are not allowed on projects.

Difficulty: HARD

Group Size: Up to 15.

Please read our Volunteer Guidelines before signing up for this project. On the signup form please leave the "Number of Volunteers" at 1. If you would like to sign up additional volunteers please submit multiple signups.
