Event Details
The Southwest Environmental Center is excited to announce multiple volunteer opportunities at our La Mancha Wetland Project this fall. La Mancha is located on approximately six acres of land adjacent to the Rio Grande near the Town of Mesilla. The project aims to create a habitat and nursery for native fish, native and migratory birds, and create plenty of habitat for mammals as well as amphibians and reptiles to thrive. This area is now a wildlife sanctuary, and provides the public to view wildlife in their natural habitat.
SWEC is hosting a series of volunteers days this fall to continue cleaning up and maintaining the La Mancha Wetland. Volunteers are needed to remove weeds, perform trail maintenance, trim trees and cattails, install tree fencing, and clear pond debris. We will meet at the site on the following Saturday mornings, 8am-12pm:
***November 23rd
Please bring a water bottle, gloves, sun protection, work clothes & shoes, and any yard working supplies. We will provide some tools, shade, and water.
Directions: From Picacho Avenue or Calle del Norte, take Fairacres Road to Aries Ave. Go south under I-10 to the end of Aries. You’re there!
For more information please contact (575) 522-5552 or sarapahlas@wildmesquite.org.
