Park rangers have been working with volunteers to build over 5 miles of sustainable single track trail within Abiquiu’s recreational facilities.
Partnerships have also yielded grants that have allowed at risk teens to be employed by non-profits like the Rocky Mountain Youth Corps.
During FY 2011, the Abiquiu Maintenance Staff provided assistance to the Santa Clara Pueblo in the aftermath of the Las Conchas Fire. The fire was the most devastating in New Mexico state history and posed a dangerous erosion problem for the Santa Clara Canyon and the Pueblo. The Abiquiu Crew assisted in the cleanup and stabilization of the areas most susceptible to high erosion.
Abiquiu Lake also hosts special events including the annual mid-winter Eagle Watch and offers volunteer opportunities for National Public Lands Day every September. See below for more information.
