Leave Tracks Not Trash! - Cleanup at Prehistoric Trackways National Monument

This is an Everyday Event (http://www.publiclandseveryday.org/find-events) for youth and volunteers hosted by Groundwork Doña Ana (http://www.groundworkda.org/) and sponsored by Toyota and the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF) to encourage people to get outside and protect our natural environment.

Volunteers are requested to help cleanup Prehistoric Trackways National Monumen (http://www.blm.gov/nm/st/en/prog/recreation/las_cruces/trackways.html)t. A guided hike exploring the geological history of the Monument, which includes fossils that predate the dinosaurs, will follow.
