Gila National Forest works on improving Tularosa River crossing

Forest Road 233 to be closed to public during project work, set to begin May 8
RESERVE, NM, April 28, 2023 – The Gila National Forest is partnering with the Federal Highway Administration to repair and improve the crossing of Tularosa River on National Forest System Road (NFSR) 233, which provides access to Eagle Peak in Catron County, New Mexico. The road will be closed to the public during construction activities from May 8 into early July. Authorized permittees and administrative use will be allowed, but delays should be expected.
Water has undercut the existing concrete low water crossing and apron, compromising its stability, and the existing design is a barrier to aquatic organism passage. The new crossing will be built from articulated concrete blocks that allow water to drain through them and are more accessible to passage by fish and other aquatic life. Additionally, the stream and adjacent wetland will be restored in the vicinity of the crossing by placing coarse woody debris in the channel, creating riffle and pool habitats and helping to stabilize streambanks.

As school summer break approaches, it's the perfect time for the community to come together and make a difference in the lives of those who need it most. The Silver City Gospel Mission has an urgent need for dedicated volunteers to assist with unloading our food truck on the first and last Wednesday of each month, or the 1st, 4th, and 5th Wednesdays when there are five Wednesdays in a month.
First, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the students of Calvary Christian Academy for their invaluable assistance during the school year. Your dedication and commitment have made a significant impact on our community, and we couldn't have done it without you. However, as summer break arrives, these amazing students won't be available to help, and we need your support to fill the gap.
We're looking for a regular volunteer crew that we can rely on to help unload the more than 5,000 pounds of food we receive from the Roadrunner Food Bank out of Albuquerque. This is an ideal opportunity for civic groups seeking a meaningful service project, as well as individuals who want to make a positive change in their community.

May 7 at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street - "The Spiritual Journey: The Inward Search for Meaning and Purpose in a Chaotic World”
Do you long for more peace and fulfillment in your life? Do you feel distress, and anxiety about the direction of world events and concerned about the influence of technology and social media and disinformation in our politics and discourse today? Do you consider yourself spiritual but not religious?
In his talk, Mike Ferris will provide highlights of his own journey in search of serenity through discovery of spirituality in his life, sharing some of the insights he has learned from years of study of religious traditions and spiritual practices like yoga and meditation. His goal is to challenge others to explore their inner life as a means to bring back sanity in our world, one soul at a time.
Mike Ferris is retired from a professional career in environmental planning and community development and considers himself a spiritual seeker.

Give Grandly 2023 will take place on Saturday, May 6 at Main Street Plaza from 9am-2pm. We couldn't do it without our donors, and we are so grateful! Come see us at our booth on Main Street Plaza...or make a donation now at Give to Youth Mural Program | Give Grandly 2023.
On Saturday at Give Grand Grandly 2023, we will have clay so everyone can make "hands" for Penny Park. Thanks to funding from the Town of Silver City, we care working on restoration to take of some vandalism and to restore two removed adobe walls. Currently, we are "rescuing" tiles from those walls to re-use. We have also repurposed some picnic tables that were at Lion's Park and turned them into chess tables. These will be placed in Penny Park once our restoration work on the 40’ wall is finished. There will be a chess tournament to celebrate the installation of the tables. We are excited to be able to provide an outdoor space for our local chess enthusiasts.
