White Rock Canyon Cleanup Sep 28

Still haven’t found a volunteer event for Public Lands Day on September 28th? Join Los Alamos County Open Space and Trails as we work to maintain White Rock Canyon Rim Trails. Over the years a network of social trails have been created leading to increased erosion and damage to a fragile ecosystem. Work will consist of closing social trails, building water diversions, removing unwanted Siberian elm trees and trimming back trail side vegetation. More information on this project and ways to sign up here.

Finally, thanks to everybody who came out last weekend to clean up the LAHS Memorial Garden for Clean Up Los Alamos Day. It looks great!
