Hi All,
Last year Central New Mexico Audubon Society (CNMAS) entered a lease with the
New Mexico State Land Office for the restoration and conservation of Melrose
Woods in NM. Since then, they have been doing a lot of work on site and they
are ready to show it off! They are hosting a Dedication and Big Sit at
Melrose Woods on Sept 18th. The Dedication is at 11am and more information
about the Big Sit, if you wish to participate, will be sent after RSVPing to
the Dedication. Please RSVP to Robert Munro at robertroymunro@xxxxxxxxx
Melrose Woods is located along US Hwy 84 E about 10 miles west of the town of
Melrose. The entrance is a sudden driveway on the right (north side of the
road) but you can see the stand of trees for miles. It is a 2hr drive from
Lubbock. The coordinates are: 34.434361, -103.799111
If you have not been to Melrose Woods before, it is a special place. If you
cannot participate on the 18th, I highly encourage you to visit some time
this fall! It is a quiet and peaceful little bit of wilderness!
Here is a link to the CNMAS invite (it was too large to send across our
listserv)

Here is some more information from a CNMAS newsletter

And here is my blog about the site (written before the improvements they’ve
made over the past year)
