Gila Work

There will be two full days (4-5 November) for volunteer labor activities. We will work entirely within Wilderness, but within one mile of the trail head. Activities will include cutting and planting willows, construction of one rock dams and at least one Zuni bowl, placement of log vanes where bank erosion needs halting, and construction of a log jam at suitable site. Volunteers should bring personal camping gear, work gloves, shoes that can get wet or waders. A camp cook and food will be provided, volunteers just need to show up with their own drinks and snacks. We'll camp at the wilderness boundary. Volunteers should try to arrive the evening of 3 November and work will center on Friday and Saturday, no planned work on Sunday, just clean up and travel. For those who have additional time on their hands, we'll also have work to set up and take down work site, beginning on 1 November and running through 8 November. Any volunteers needing additional information should contact Jim Brooks (505-331-5926, arroyodejaime@gmail.com).
