Burro Creek Fence Removal Project

BURRO CREEK - FENCE REMOVAL PROJECT

MAY 30th - June 1, 2008

PROJECT BACKGROUND:

Burro Creek is where we continue to remove barbed wire fencing in Big Lake area. These fences cross good Antelope, Elk and Deer habitat. It will be a significant benefit to remove these fences. We will be removing and rolling up wire, pulling and hauling out posts (steel and wood).

We need a lot of help on this project so please mark you calendars. We will be providing meals Friday night, Saturday breakfast, lunch and dinner, and Sunday breakfast. We need fence rolling equipment, post pullers, pliers and as many able bodied volunteers as possible.

We will be working with barbed wire and lots of it. Bring your sun block, hats, gloves and long sleeved shirts and pants. Be prepared for all kinds of weather. We need around 50 people.

WHERE:

Big Lake, SW of Springerville, AZ. From Showlow take Highway 260 East toward Springerville, turn south on paved Highway 273 (3 mi east of Springerville) and head south 19 miles to the Dripping Vat Spring campsite just north Crescent Lake. Watch for signs along the roadway.

If you would like to carpool, please contact Tom.

WORK DETAILS:

Plan on arriving in the afternoon of Friday May 30th. Breakfast will be at 7:00 am Saturday and we will start working at 8:00 am. After Sunday breakfast we will work until about noon then pack up.
