EcoServants

EcoServants will enroll eight full-time AmeriCorps members who will perform projects in environmental stewardship and outdoor recreation in Lincoln and Otero County. Crews will complete projects in partnership with National Forest, Bureau of Land Management, Village of Ruidoso, Mescalero Apache Tribe and others. Projects include trail design, construction and restoration, forest monitoring, disaster relief, watershed restoration and community improvement projects. Lincoln County (LC) is located in Eastern New Mexico. It has a population of 20,105 people with 48% in cities and 52% in rural areas; this is spread out over 4,831 square miles and encompasses 10 towns and villages (Capitan, Carrizozo, Corona, Glencoe, Hondo, Nogal, Ruidoso, Ruidoso Downs, San Patricio and Tinnie). Our communities range from vast ranch lands at an elevation of 4,000 feet to alpine mountain ranges of 11,500 feet in elevation. The community's topography is very diverse and passes through 5 different biomes from the Chihuahua Desert to the Sub-Alpine Forest. The city populations are concentrated in and around the Sub-Alpine Forest. We are a program that enables AmeriCorps members to be a part of a solution for our community and also provide crucial training, skills and certificates to help with future adventures that the AmeriCorps member desire.
