About This Event
A Collaborative Learning Workshop by Melissa Houser of Santa Fe Conservation Trust and Jan-Willem Jansens of Ecotone Landscape Planning, LLC. During this interactive workshop, participants will learn how to use slash and wooden posts from junipers and piñons to build structures and implement specific lop & scatter techniques for soil stabilization. Based on the completed Rangeland Management Plan for the property, which in turn is based on Bullseye monitoring findings from 2024, a series of rangeland improvement treatments have been flagged for implementation by volunteers.
Participants will receive instruction on how to implement treatments such as juniper removal, construction of wicker weirs, spreading of brush mattresses, building of log mats, and lop & scatter of slash. A printed technical guide will be available for purchase for $15.00.
Participants need to be available for the entire workshop from 8 am to 3 pm. Workgloves, tools and lunch will be provided.
Sandwich Options – Ham, Turkey, Veggie, or Vegan
Please wear long sleeves, long pants, sturdy work boots, hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses. Bring a refillable waterbottle.
