HOLY HIKERS
The next excursion of St. Michael's Holy Hikers will take place on
Saturday, August 28th, at 8:30 a.m, at one of the Rio Grande Valley's beautiful scenic areas: The Corrales Bosque Preserve.
The Corrales Bosque Preserve consists of a narrow strip of land containing a natural cottonwood forest and associated riparian habitats that include shrubs such as coyote willow and New Mexico olive. The Preserve runs west from the Rio Grande to: 1) north of Coroval Road: the west side of the Sandoval lateral irrigation ditch, and 2) south of Coroval Road: the west side of the Corrales Riverside Drain (“clear ditch”) (see map). Additional boundaries of the Preserve are: South at the Alameda Bridge and north at Siphon Road.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE CORRALES BOSQUE PRESERVE
In 1978 the Corrales Bosque Preserve was declared a protected area. The Village of Corrales oversees the Preserve to maintain it as a Natural Area and Wildlife Preserve.
Riparian habitats are particularly important for avian communities in the arid Southwest. As such, the Preserve was designated as an Important Bird Area (IBA) in 2013. Many bird species nest in this area and the endangered Southwestern Willow Flycatcher and the Western Yellow-billed Cuckoo, a species of conservation concern, have been observed in the Bosque habitats. The Preserve is also an important stopover habitat for many migrants that pass through on their ways south and north, and it provides habitat for wintering Bald Eagles.
Parking: Parking for visitors to the Corrales Bosque Preserve is available at the south end (Alameda bridge) and north end (Siphon Road) (see map). Limited parking is available at Romero Road. Be courteous to residents and do not block gates and driveways, and do not block access points for the Fire and Police Departments. Do not leave valuables in your vehicle and be sure to lock your vehicle.

As ALWAYS, we want to start early so we can be done before the heat begins. We usually are done by 9:45 or so, and they are not horribly strenuous, although you need to be able to negotiate rocky terrain.
Once we know who is hiking, particulars about where and when to meet, what to bring, etc., will be sent out.
For more information contact Alex Klebenow at (505) 839-8233, or
Mandy at St. Michael's Office at 505-345-8147, ext. 121 .
