PROJECT DETAILS:

On Thursday 1/30/20, (weather permitting) Friends of the Sandia Mountains (FOSM) will return to work on the Cienega/Armijo Trail Improvement Project (CATIP) for the Sandia Ranger District (SRD). Russell Berman, SRD Trails Foreman, will likely join us.

Please plan on carpooling to the extent possible because we will access from private property. Space in carpools will be available leaving from the SRD. The hike to the work site is less than 1/2 mile.

PLEASE RSVP:

So we can plan for tools, hard hats, and transportation, please let me know by email or text 1) IF you plan to participate, 2) IF you need a hard hat, and 3) IF you have any questions.

START TIME:

For those meeting us at the SRD, be at the FOSM shed ready to go at 0900. Plan for a cold start in the morning. Bring your own lunch, snacks, liquids, and sunscreen. We will eat lunch around 1200, work until 1430 or so, then hike out.

REQUIRED ATTIRE:

The standard USFS trail work PPE requirements apply: approved hard hat, eye protection, no open-toed shoes, work gloves, and pants (no shorts), no exceptions. An approved hard hat can be provided if needed. NOTE: short-sleeved shirts are fine for cutting tread but brushing, including trail obliteration, requires long sleeves. Not much of an issue in January.

Weather or trail priorities can change quickly. Assume the project is a go but watch for any last minute update or cancellation.
