Join Jeremy Sweat and Collin Haffey at 8:30 a.m., April 28 on a hike to Upper Crossing in Frijoles Canyon. This event will merge science and art to highlight changes on the Pajarito Plateau.

 

During the hike, Sweat and Haffey will discuss forest ecology and provide a glimpse into how Bandelier National Monument manages its resources. The hike goes through a ponderosa pine forest to a large burn scar where regrowrh is visable. After the hike, attendees will carpool to the Bandelier Fire Tower and join artists Kathleen Brennan and Shawn Skabelund at their art installation the Edge Effect.

 

This event is part of the East Jemez Landscape Futures partnership between PEEC, Bandelier and other local land managers.

 

Sweat is chief of resource management at Bandelier and Haffey is the conservation coordinator with The Nature Conservancy in New Mexico. Attendees will meet them at 8:30 a.m. at the Ponderosa Campground parking area tp begin the hike.

 

This is a free event, but attendance is limited to 15 people and registration is required.
