PROJECT DETAILS:

On Thursday 3/5/20, (weather permitting) the Friends of the Sandia Mountains (FOSM) will again work on the Cienega/Armijo Trail Improvement Project (CATIP) for the Sandia Ranger District (SRD). Note earlier start time below.

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 in to the work site is about a 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 SRD, be at the FOSM shed ready to go at 0830. Plan for a chilly start in the morning. Bring your own lunch, snacks, liquids, and sunscreen. We will eat lunch around 1200, work until 1400 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.

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