The San Diego Cattle Grazing Association has asked for volunteers to help repair a fence that completes a gap between Stable and Schoolhouse Mesas east of the Rio Guadalupe canyon. That gap is one of very few places on the allotment where cattle can get off the mesas and down into the Guadalupe.
Camping is available at the meeting location and lunch will be provided. You can volunteer one day or all three. Wherever works for you! Please dress appropriately with long pants, long sleeve shirt, work boots, hat and gloves. Bring along sun screen and rain gear. Bring fence pliers if you have them.
Location – Junction of Forest Roads 606 & 608, south of Fenton Lake. Access to the location is by traveling along Route 4 past Jemez Springs to La Cueva, turning left on Route 126 toward Fenton Lake. Turn left onto FS Road 376, then a left onto FS road 604 then left onto FS road 606 and take that until you reach the junction of FS roads 606 and 608 where Manuel and Gabe Lucero will be camping with their crew.
