Manzano Crest Lopping (Mountainair RD)
May 9 @ 6:00 PM - May 10 @ 5:00 PM
Contact Leader(s): Don Lemke, d.lemke@nmvfo.org; Uwe Schroeter, u.schroeter@nmvfo.org with any questions.
Description: We will lop overgrowth and remove downfall on the Manzano Crest Trail between Trail Canyon Trail and Bosque Peak Trail, picking up where we left off during our September 2024 project. The work will not be difficult but will require a 3+ mile hike with a 1,500 feet elevation gain to the work site (plus return). 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: 
Group Size: Up to 15.
