Volunteer while you hike!
New Mexico Wild and Carson National Forest are seeking proficient hikers to contribute to Solitude Monitoring data collection across the Carson's trail system. Solitude data helps the Forest understand traffic patterns in order to be better aware of which areas may be subject to impacts from extensive recreational use, which in turn helps guide management decisions to preserve trails, habitats, and opportunities for peaceful recreation for visitors.
When you sign up to assist with Solitude Monitoring, you will be asked to identify your trail and dates of interest, and then be provided with specific instructions and guidance via email. Volunteers will independently conduct their data collection hikes, and report data back to New Mexico Wild.
Stay tuned for registration - opening soon!
