Join us for the 4th Annual Kiowa National Grasslands Habitat Improvement Project April 5-7 near Roy New Mexico.
Volunteers will work alongside USFS staff to verify or raise the bottom wire of allotment fencing and remove tumbleweeds from the fenceline to allow pronghorn to more easily traverse the grasslands. This work will enable pronghorn to access the food, water, space and cover they need to survive. Volunteers will have the opportunity to learn about the importance of the shortgrass prairie ecosystem from USFS staff.
Participants may show up Friday evening or early Saturday. Camping is free. We will have a wild game potluck Friday evening as we share stories around the campfire. Come out to improve Pronghorn Habitat, camp out with like-minded individuals and have fun!
