Description: Join us on a car-camping project to improve drainage and tread along the popular Winsor Trail. We will be setting up a base camp at the Aspen Basin area adjacent to the lower Ski Santa Fe parking lot. The work area will start about 1.7 miles from the Winsor trailhead, which is located near the restrooms on the north side of the parking lot.

All tools will be provided. USFS rules require us to wear heavy boots, long pants, long sleeves, hard hats (provided) and eye protection (sunglasses okay) while working. Please also bring a large daypack to carry lunch, snacks, sunblock, rain gear, and a full-day’s supply of water.

Volunteers will need to provide their own camping gear, including tent, sleeping bag and pad, camp chair, headlamp, etc., plus a cooler/beverages if desired. Breakfasts and dinners (except for Thursday evening) will be provided; volunteers will supply their own lunches and snacks. Please bring your own plate, bowl, utensils, and coffee mug. There is room at the parking lot for RVs. There are pit toilets but no potable water, so please bring as much of your own water as possible. The cooks and project leader will also bring several containers, as well as filters to take water from the creek.

We will adhere to current Forest Service Covid-19 protocols. Specific details will be provided prior to the start of the project.

Reminder: Pets are not allowed on NMVFO projects.
