Los Amigos de Valles Caldera News:

National Public Lands Day is the nation’s largest single-day volunteer event for public lands.

Volunteers are being sought to roll up their sleeves to help restore and preserve the place they use for outdoor recreation, education and just plain enjoyment.

“It is a fantastic opportunity to show your appreciation for the unique environment that is Valles Caldera National Preserve.”

Schedule:

• 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 24, volunteers will meet at the Entrance Station.
• Expect 3-4 hours of work followed by a celebration event.
• Expect manual labor, being on your feet most of the time, and possibly walking up to 2 miles.
• Volunteer projects may include cleaning up litter along N.M. 4 and removing sandbags from the cabin area.

Refreshments will be provided by Los Amigos de Valles Caldera.

More details will be coming soon.
