LOCATION: Cedro Creek, near Tijeras

THE PROJECT: For our final volunteer restoration service project of the season, we will be returning to one of our legacy sites, Cedro Creek in the Sandia Mountains. We will repair and add to rock structures we built in past years to prevent the stream from downcutting and to stabilize the channel.After we finish up our work, we’ll gather nearby for a late lunch potluck to celebrate all the great restoration work accomplished by AWF volunteers during the 2018 season!

SCHEDULE: Saturday, October 20, 9:00-4:00

GEAR: Bring everything you need for a day of outdoor work, including gloves, hat, long sleeves, long pants, sturdy boots, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Dress in layers to be prepared for New Mexico’s variable weather.

FOOD: AWF will provide bison or veggie burgers for the afternoon potluck. Please bring a dish to share along with snacks and water for the work day.

One of AWF's primary missions is to improve and preserve wildlife habitat for present and future uses. To further this goal, AWF hosts several volunteer restoration projects each year in locations around New Mexico. Project tasks include building rock structures in streambeds using the techniques developed by Bill Zeedyk, planting trees, installing fence exclosures to protect riparian areas, and removing old wire fencing that is hazardous to wildlife.

Some of the projects are one-day events at local venues in and around Albuquerque. Most are weekend camping trips in beautiful public lands in the state. Typically, participants arrive on Friday afternoon or evening, camp Friday and Saturday nights, and depart by Sunday noon. However, volunteers are welcome to join us just for the Saturday work day, or camp for just one of the two nights.

The camping events feature Saturday morning breakfast burritos and coffee, and a Saturday evening potluck dinner with grilled bison burgers and veggie options provided by AWF. Participants bring a dish to share to create a bountiful meal.

We welcome participants of all ages; individuals under 18 years of age require parental permission or supervision.
