MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT, SCOTT CUTLER
The fourth annual Poppies Celebration will take place Saturday, March 20th. This should be the biggest celebration yet with a wide array of educational booths (including a wolf and an eagle) and vendors. It looks like there will even be a nice display of poppies! A great number of organizations have put a tremendous amount of effort into planning this event and we are expecting thousands of people to show up. With all of these visitors, we will need volunteers to help set things up and keep the event going. If you have some time to volunteer, please contact me at 581-6071.
FMWC has renewed its commitment to clean up a stretch of Transmountain Road as part of the Adopt-A-Highway program. We have a beautiful length of highway to care for and it’s a great opportunity to publicize the Coalition with the signs and the cleanup. The site starts at the entrance of the Tom Mays Unit of Franklin Mountains State Park and goes west for two miles. We have agreed to do three cleanups in 2010 and four in 2011 and 2012.
We are looking for someone to act as the Coordinator for Cleanups. Our Coordinator would contact the Adopt-A-Highway office with cleanup dates; arrange for bags and vests; and draft an email for distribution to our members announcing each event and asking for participation. One phone call and email every three months with help available to pick up the materials for each clean up. If you’re interested, please contact me at 581-6071 for details.

Reyes Acts to Preserve Castner (Judy Ackerman): Congressman Reyes and his staff have succeeded in securing $300,000 to study a Conservation Conveyance on Castner Range in the fiscal year 2010 federal budget! The Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) administers the funds. The OEA’s mission is to assist communities that are affected by closure or expansion of military bases. FMWC representatives are working with El Paso’s land trust, The Frontera Land Alliance, to preserve Castner Range as natural open space. The end goal is that Castner Range become part of the Franklin Mountains State Park once it is cleared of dangerous unexploded ordnance.* We are several steps closer to our goal thanks to Congressman Reyes.
*Interested in more details of this process: contact Kathy at kmcconaghie@gmail.com for email copies of the January 14th Technical Project Planning meeting minutes and presentation.
Preserving El Paso’s Open Spaces: Palisades Canyon was purchased by the Public Service Board. Excerpt from “On the Water Front”, a message from Ed Archuleta: ...Palisades Canyon – 200 beautiful acres at the tip of the Franklin Mountains...located near Robinson Avenue in the Kern Place area...a gateway to the Franklin Mountains State Park for El Pasoans who use its trails for mountain biking and hiking...” (Entire message can be seen at http://www.epwu.org/OnTheWaterFront/water_front0210.html )
Our City Council is also working towards preservation of several hundred acres of privately owned mountain land and FMWC will continue to monitor and assist in these endeavors.

Mountain to River Trail: Our team continues to monitor progress on preservation of Arroyo 41A and the proposed Mountain to River Trail from the impacts of quarry operations and residential developments. Stanley Jobe, the holder of the quarry lease on GLO land, provided workers who assisted rangers on building a new trail. Park Superintendent, Cesar Mendez, really likes the new trail that they are creating which ends at Picnic Area 39 or connects further down with the Avispa Canyon portion of the Lower Sunset which goes past Schaeffer Shuffle and back to the same picnic area. Mr. Jobe reported that surveying of the buffer around 41A has been done and the GLO is currently studying the situation.

Park Volunteer Richard Love writes: “Here we are three months into the new year and the moisture/snow keep gracing our mountain. March 20th the Poppy Festival happens and this should be a banner year. As early as the end of February we were seeing and getting reports of poppies blooming along the roadside at lower elevations. All of you Photographers dust off the cameras and macro lenses this is going to be the year to fill your portfolios with the poppies and other wildflowers that have been missing for the past several springs. The late spring Cactus blooms should be really special this year. In March and April in the park Kelly and I are going to do two classes on wildflower photography. These are going to be geared for the beginner and non professional photographers. The dates are not set as of this article, but you can call Kelly at 566-6441 or email her at kelly.serio@tpwd.state.tx.us to be included in the fun. Kelly has filled her calender with hikes, classes, moonlite hikes and all kinds of fun events, and can schedule your group for tours and hikes. Volunteers!! If you are available for any of these classes and would like to help or even learn some new skills please consider contacting Kelly. We were not real happy during the month of February. Four of our mountain's residents were killed by cars on Transmountain Road. Please tell all of your friends to drive carefully when on any of the roads around the mountains. Not only would it help keep our deer population alive, but prevent literally hundreds of dollars damage on your cars. The Wildlife Viewing Area has a newly remodeled water feature. The old design was very hard to keep clean and very hard to work on.

The spring birds haven't begin to come in yet but around the park we have seen some special visitors. Mid February one of the golden eagles visited the area. It is a very beautiful Raptor and presented itself close enough to identify without binos. A pair of Loggerhead Shrikes visited and hung around for a couple of weeks. They may still be there but choosing to stay out of sight. The weather conditions have been just right all though February for some gloriously beautiful sunrises. For all of us early risers on the west side there have been some light shows unbelievable.”

Texas State Parks “Adventure Camping Program”
The increasingly popular Texas Outdoor Family program is branching out to deliver adventurous programs for families who are looking for something more than an introductory how-to camping experience.Four Texas state parks, including Big Bend Ranch, this spring will host Texas Outdoor Family Adventure workshops designed to familiarize families with the outdoors and teach them how to tent camp, cook outdoors and get the most out of their outdoor experience. These events will occur in some of the Texas State Park System’s larger, more remote sites.Texas Outdoor Family adventure campouts dates are March 25-28 at Big Bend Ranch, April 17-18 at Palo Duro Canyon, April 24-25 at Lost Maples State Natural Area and May 15-16 at Colorado Bend State Park.The Big Bend Ranch adventure camp will include a guided canoe trip down the Rio Grande and a two-day desert camping program in the interior of Texas’ largest state park that encompasses more than 300,000 acres near Presidio. The cost for the Big Bend Ranch camp is $86, plus $53 for canoe rental.Highlighting the Palo Duro Canyon campout will be a three-hour guided hike through the “Grand Canyon of Texas” to its famous geologic wonder known as The Lighthouse. The theme of the Lost Maples adventure camp will be an introduction to backpacking in which state park rangers will teach families the basics of successful backpacking. Participants in the Colorado Bend adventure campout will experience cave exploration, guided hikes to scenic Gorman Falls and river canoeing. “These new programs are aimed at families who are looking for more adventurous camping experiences,” explains Chris Holmes, Texas State Parks outdoor education coordinator. “We recognize that many families want to expand their outdoor recreation knowledge, but are uncomfortable going alone to a remote site with limited facilities. This series of adventure camping allows the families to be in a safe environment with knowledgeable rangers to guide and assist at any time.”TPWD’s Texas Outdoor Family program launched in the summer of 2008 has taught hundreds of families throughout the state, most of them from urban environments, how to safely enjoy the great outdoors.
The outdoor family workshops are designed to combat "Nature Deficit Disorder," a phrase coined by Richard Louv in his 2005 book, "Last Child in the Woods." Louv cites studies that show that playing outdoors strengthens a young person’s mind and body, leading to better performance in school and interactions with others. The first-of-its-kind Texas program has gained national attention from such national organizations as Leave No Trace and the National Association of Interpretation, spurring spinoff programs in other states.The program was begun to try to eliminate barriers to families wishing to share the outdoor experience together. The campouts are designed for persons who have never camped before or may not have camped for many years, as well as for those who don’t have the necessary equipment or see the outdoors as being boring or dangerous. By providing quality gear to be used for the overnight stay and park-specific programs and activities, TOF’s outdoor specialists show how anyone can enjoy camping with no hassles. Texas state parks, with ample campsites and a law enforcement presence, prove the ideal setting for the structured campouts.During a typical outdoor family workshop, participants are welcomed on Saturday morning to the host state park, where they have reserved a campsite and receive assistance with pitching camp and operating propane lanterns and other camping equipment. After an afternoon filled with fun outdoor activities, such as geocaching and cooking an outdoor meal, participants enjoy an evening presentation on night sounds to prepare them for what they might hear while snuggled in their tent.The adventure campouts cost $55 per family. Program sponsor Toyota helps keep the program affordable by providing funding for equipment.Visit the Texas Outdoor Family Web page for more information, including the complete schedule of this spring’s weekend workshops. Texas Outdoor Family is now on Facebook, where participating families post their pictures and share stories of their outdoor adventures.Families can register by calling (512) 389-8903 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. and speaking to a Texas Outdoor Family representative or by sending an e-mail to tofsp@tpwd.state.tx.us. After registration, a confirmation packet with details, including a suggested shopping list, will be sent.
