A Decade of Forest Fires and Flooding - Ruidoso
Let's hike, and We'll discuss the past number of fires that have occurred in Lincoln County. Topics include the effects of fire, drought and monsoon flash floods that have impacted recreational trails within the forest and how fire has shaped the ecology within the area of our hike. We'll be hiking one of the Cedar Creek trails and walk through some heavily burned scarred areas. This hike is a 3.5-4 mile roundtrip with a moderate and gradual 425' elevation gain which will include several stops. Good footwear , water and sunscreen and dress for the weather is essential. If we're lucky, we'll catch some glimpses of elk and wild horses. No dogs please and appropriate for children over 14 with a parent or legal guardian. Registration is limited to 10 participants. RSVP no later than April 23rd.
