South Sandia Peak Backpack 2023
NMVFO returned to the South Sandia Crest Trail, with 12 volunteers camping at a meadow at the intersection with Embudito Trail, for a weekend of lopping oak. The Pecos Chapter of the Backcountry Horsemen BCH supported us by hauling equipment and water.
Valles Caldera Wetlands Restoration
Sixteen NMVFO volunteers returned this year to work on a restoration project. The goal is to prevent ground water from forming ditches too early, and diverting the water with structures to sheet across the land, restoring wetlands. We built one-rock dams and sod riffles to move water flow.
