Help wildlife and enjoy a day in the foothills of the Manzano Mountains installing a 3500
gallon inverted umbrella tank and drinker (AKA “trick tank”) for bighorn sheep and deer.
We'll assemble the parts, make shallow excavations for placement, move the tanks into
place, and dig a trench for the pipe that connects the tank and drinker. A maximum of 10
people are needed to complete this project. We will meet at 8:00 AM on Saturday morning
at the intersection of Forest Road 422 and US-60 (see map) and carpool to the worksite. Remember to wear/bring: long pants, long-sleeved shirt, work boots, work gloves, sun hat,
sunglasses, lunch, water. For volunteers who would like to camp Friday night, nearby Red
Canyon Campground has picnic tables and restrooms but campers must bring their own
water. Please sign up for this project by Tuesday, April 7; let the project leader know if you
plan to camp so sites can be reserved.
