Calling all volunteers! Pajarito Environmental Education Center and Los Alamos County Open Space and Trails need help Saturday to remove the last bits of fence from Acid Canyon and restore this great, little canyon to a more natural state.
The goal is to clean up the old chain-link fence that mars the steep slope below the nature center in Acid Canyon. We need individuals who can hike the short distance down into the canyon, then bring pieces of fencing back up to the rim to be disposed of. Other teams will work to load larger pieces of trash into a County truck to be hauled out of the canyon.
Help also is needed to move piles of invasive, non-native elm cuttings and collecting litter that has been washed into the smaller side canyons, so there will be lots of jobs for all willing helpers!
This is a community project that will help beautify a popular area that many people see when hiking near the nature center. Registration is not required, but it is encouraged to ensure supplies and snacks.
