Opportunity Description: The Espanola Ranger District will be hosting trail workdays on the Dead Dog Trail this Spring! The Dead Dog Trail is undergoing a much-needed re-route to access the mesa in the Caja del Rio, an area just west of Santa Fe. Volunteers will engage in trail projects that include building switchbacks and retaining walls, clearing the trail corridor and digging a new trail. No experience is necessary. Most of these projects will be difficult to strenuous, but if you’re in good shape you should be well-suited for these projects! No experience is necessary, though, so give Jennifer a call or email today to sign up for one or more trail workdays. It’s a great way to give back to the land you love. All volunteers should wear long pants, lightweight long sleeves, leather gloves, above-ankle boots, and eye protection. Everyone will also need a backpack with lunch and at least 3 quarts of water. Dates for Spring Workdays: Friday, March 8—9:00-2:00 Sunday, March 17—9:00-2:00 Saturday, March 30—9:00-2:00 Saturday, April 13—9:00-2:00 Friday, April 19—9:00-2:00 Saturday, April 20—TBA (Earth Day Celebration!)
