Help us bring water to wildlife! Join NDOW and the Fraternity of the Desert Bighorn to build a guzzler in the Muddy Mountains. A guzzler is constructed to provide a reliable water source to wildlife. The build will be a walk in build. A 4WD and high clearance vehicle is needed to access the meeting point. All tools and materials will be provided. Bring plenty of water, food/snacks, and work gloves. Dress in layers, as the weather can be cold in the morning and warm up in the afternoon. Wear comfortable work/hiking boots, layers, and clothes you don't mind getting dirty. Dates are subject to change. We will meet at coordinates 36.340919°, -114.521268° (UTME 722506 UTMN 4024637) at 7am. For more information, contact Michelle Lopez at michelle.lopez@ndow.org or (702) 668-3552.
