Whether you want to celebrate by going on a date out in nature with your special someone, spending time with friends, or connecting to community, join us in the heart of our state for a planting day in the bosque! New Mexico Wild and the City of Albuquerque’s Open Space are partnering to host this volunteer service project where we will learn about the flora and fauna that call this area home, spend some time planting native species, and treat areas affected by invasive plants if we find them (hand pulling only, no pesticides involved)!
Exact location details will be provided to registrants via email as the event approaches. We will meet at 9:45 AM and provide coffee and a light breakfast. There will be a short hike into the work site, and we will wrap up by 1 PM.
Please wear closed-toed shoes for safety since we use rakes and shovels. We recommend dressing in layers to be protected from the sun and prepared for a wide range of temperatures, as the weather in the bosque is highly variable during the winter season. Bring a hat, sunscreen, and water. Work gloves will be available, but feel free to bring your own if you have/prefer them. All necessary tools, extra water, and snacks will be provided.
When: Saturday, February 15, from 10 am to 1:00 pm
