Commonweal/GBP is planning on installing 20-25 user signs on the GBP trail system on Saturday, August 27th, and need another 4-5 volunteers to help make it happen. The are installing 4×4 posts near intersections of trails with different usages. The signs say “THIS TRAIL IS OPEN TO” followed by images for hikers, bikers, and equestrians, as appropriate. This is being supported by the Santa Fe Horse Coalition riders, some of whom will also be helping install the signs. Exact time is TBD, but most likely 8 or 8:30 until done, hopefully by noon.

Let me know if you can help out.

Thanks,
