Coronado Historic Site 2025

20+ NMVFO volunteers met at the Coronado Historic Site in Bernalillo, and hiked to the bosque along the Rio Grande to remove invasive tamarisk (salt cedar) and Russian olive trees, and leave the surviving native plants.

The brush was quite thick. We used hand saws to cut trees close to the ground, and then dragged cut limbs and dead trees to piles that will later be chipped/shredded.

Will this be NMVFO’s last project for the year?
