Limestone Canyon 2025

Six NMVFO volunteers and two USFS staff joined 30-odd Albuquerque Wildlife Federation volunteers at Limestone Canyon in the San Mateo Mountains south of the VLA, for a long-running water restoration project.

We built or improved one-rock dams, baffles, and beaver-analog dams to capture sediment and duff, add more turns to the channel, and slow the water in peak flow.

Thanks goes out to AWF for teaching us their evolving techniques for water restoration, based on the work of Bill Zeedyk.
