[Volunteers_fosm] Reminder: FOSM National Trails Day project, next Saturday, June 1

[DAN BENTON via Volunteers_fosm]

Greetings,

If you have signed up to participate in FOSM's National Trails Day project at Simms Park, we will see you next Saturday morning at 8:30 AM.  If you have not signed up but would like to, follow the link in the message below.  The project is designed to be completed before lunch (assuming a reasonable turnout of volunteers) so we can participate in the activities at the Kiwanis shelter.  The usual PPE requirements apply -- gloves, long pants, long sleeves, sturdy boots, hard hats (available on request).  The hike to the work site(s) will be relatively short, but you need to take water and sun protection.

Dan Benton

Greetings FOSM volunteers,

Again this year FOSM will be sponsoring a project on National Trails Day in conjunction with other projects offered by the Albuquerque Open Space Division at Simms Park adjacent to the west side of the Sandia Ranger District.  Projects end by around noon, followed by free lunch and giveaways by REI at the Kiwanis picnic shelter in the Elena Gallegos Picnic Area of Simms Park.  If you want to participate and get the T-shirt, you need to register with REI at their website below.  Registrations are limited.  There is no cost.  Note that REI refers to Simms Park as Elena Gallegos Park.  Simms Park is located at the east end of Simms Park Road east of Tramway Boulevard just north of Academy Road.

Our project this year will be similar to the one last year in which we installed a chicane at the Embudito trailhead to dissuade (in the words of the Wilderness Act) "mechanical contrivances" from crossing into the Sandia Mountain Wilderness.  Kerry Wood, SRD Trails and Wilderness Program Manager, has requested that we install similar one-sided chicanes at the Pino and Domingo Baca trailheads.   A generic chicane diagram is attached.  Our chicanes will be similar to the diagram, except that the openings probably will be to the left and installed on the National Forest side (east, i.e., inside the Wilderness).

BTW, on the same day Kerry will be leading his regular off-site work day doing re-routes on the Challenge Trail in the vicinity of the Nine Mile Picnic Area.  If that interests you, contact Kerry for more details:  kerry.wood at usda.gov
