In addition to promoting, maintaining, and building trails, ECTA is also all about supporting professional development opportunities and our fellow non-profits.Last week ECTA contractor Courtney had the opportunity to evaluate and instruct at an advanced crosscut workshop with folks from the Carson National Forest and folks from cooperator groups from around the country.#trailsconnectus #enchantedcircletrails #enchantedcircle #nmoutdoors #nmoutside #nmtrue #trails #trailmaintenance #nmtrails #taos #NewMexico #trailbuilding #getoutdoors ...

Come join the Taos Women's Outdoor Adventurers for a volunteer trail maintenance day on the Yerba Canyon trail!☀️ Please RSVP by emailing taosbabysitting@gmail.com ☀️Details:☀️ When: Saturday, August 23rd at 8:30 AM (folks may come and go as they need, there's no requirement to stay the entirety of the workday)☀️ What to Expect: A day filled with fun and trail maintenance! Work will mostly consist of using loppers and hand saws to cut back encroaching vegetation and using pick mattocks and McLeods to improve drainage on the trail.The trail starts at 8,000' and steadily climbs while crossing the creek many times. We'll be hiking about 4-6 miles roundtrip depending on trail conditions.☀️ What to Bring: Please wear long pants, sturdy hiking shoes/work boots, work gloves, and eye protection (sunglasses okay). Bring a day pack with plenty of food and water (the trail follows a creek you can filter from), sunscreen, layers, and rain gear. *We will be on the trail all day and not returning to the cars for lunch*ECTA will provide the hard hats and tools.We hope#trailsconnectuse#enchantedcircletrailsn#enchantedcirclei#nmoutdoorse#nmoutsidem#nmtrues#adoptatrail##trails##trailmaintenancel#nmtrailsa#volunteer##taosi#NewMexicoe#trailbuildinge#getoutdoorsuilding #getoutdoors ...

Our friends at The Ride Collective are hosting the Enchanted Circle road bike ride and are looking for a few volunteers to help out on Saturday, August 9th. They need Course Marshals in Taos. Course marshals act as human arrows and help keep riders on course. Not only do you provide direction to the riders, but you get to cheer them on as well! Typical time commitment is 2-3 hours in the morning. If you're interested email support@theridecollective.com for more details. ... See MoreSee Less
