Randall Davey Audubon Center 2026

16 NMVFO volunteers gathered for a weekend car-camp project at the Randall Davey Audubon Center in Santa Fe, to build 0.2 miles of new trail, previously flagged by Jenny.

Here Phyllis demonstrates how to cut a 45 degree back-slope and 5 degree out-slope.

The soil was super-rocky, and pick-mattocks got plenty of usage.

The Audubon Center staff kindly provided pizza for dinner, and bagels and extras for breakfast, in their Pavilion.

The Center has plenty of nifty things to explore, including an amazing play/discovery area for kids. Carl gave a tour of historic buildings once belonging to Randall Davey, an important artist who came to Santa Fe in the 1920s and created until the 1960s.
