This fall/winter I'm volunteering at Sevilleta (seh-vee-et-ah) National Wildlife Refuge near Socorro NM. My first project was to finish the new entrance sign. With a deadline. Before an open house type event called Celebrate Sevilleta.
It's a big deal for the public since this particular refuge is mostly off limits to the public. Research is a primary focus. There's a UNM Field Station with housing that's bigger than the refuge headquarters and volunteer village (my home). There are more off-site organizations that access refuge property for their projects. Sevilleta is over a quarter million acres BTW.
