[Volunteers_fosm] Reminder: FOSM Membership Meeting - 7:00 PM; SRD Conference Room

[Joseph C. Giles]

Please plan to join us on this evening to hear Adam Splitek, Open Space Program Coordinator, give an overview of Bernalillo County Open Space <https://www.bernco.gov/community-services/open-space/>.

Date and Time - July 11, 7:00 PM

Location - Sandia Ranger Station conference room

Speaker - Originally from San Antonio, Texas, Adam has called New Mexico home since 2014 and Albuquerque home since 2019. His role as Open Space Coordinator with Bernalillo County includes planning and facilitating hands-on projects and educational activities with a variety of partners as well as handling a variety of logistical needs related to the County’s open space properties. Adam holds a BA in Economics and previously spent 5.5 years in Taos with Rocky Mountain Youth Corps managing forest restoration, trail construction and other outdoor projects for youth and young adults throughout the upper Rio Grande region. He also spent 3 seasons doing field-based conservation work in the backcountry of Colorado and Wyoming as well as 5 years in Ecuador, first as a coordinator for volunteer and service-learning programs and later as an English teacher and photographer.

Program abstract - Adam's talk will provide an overview of Bernalillo County Open Space (BCOS) as well as highlight several county-managed open space properties in the east mountains including Carlito Springs, Tijeras Creek (currently co-managed with Bernalillo County Public Works), Ojito de San Antonio, Sabino Canyon, Sandia Knolls, and Sedillo Ridge (currently closed).  We will discuss current and future activities planned on these open spaces and opportunities for collaboration with FOSM in fulfilling the BCOS mission/vision.

Livestreaming - Our previous attempts at livestreaming the event using an iPhone and Zoom for those unable to attend in person were successful enough that Joelle Hertel and I will continue the experiment. Zoom particulars are:
