Melissa, from the Gila Chapter of Backcountry Horsemen of New Mexico (Gila BCH), led nine volunteers on a one-day trail project on Rabb Park Trail, a few miles down from Emory Pass in the Gila National Forest.

We used loppers and hand saws to brush about 1.5 miles of trail, on a cool cloudy day, good conditions for trail work. Juniper and Emory oak were the most abundant plants needing trimming.


At the end of the month, Gila BCH will team up with NMVFO for a 4-day backpack trail project, that will go further along Rabb Park Trail.
