Civilian Conservation Corps Photo Restoration and Display:

With support from the Friends, noted photographer and former Artist-In-Residence David Halpern restored and framed images of the Civilian Conservation Corps at Bandelier. Those images are now on display in the Visitor Center. It is a fine tribute to the young men who constructed the headquarters area in the 1930s.

Bandelier Conservation Corps:

Celebrating its fifth year, the BCC takes youth from local communities and pueblos to form a trail and conservation crew for work in Bandelier. These young men and women spend their days on the trail network tackling the huge task of post-fire trail repair.

Bandelier Conservation Corps Preservation Program:

As a result of the success of the BCC, Bandelier established a new program this year - the Preservation Program. The program is similar to the BCC, but focuses on preservation, specifically the preservation of ancestral archaeological sites. Learn more here.

Horno Move and Reconstruction:

For many years, an horno near the Visitor Center has been used for cultural demonstrations. Since 2011, the horno has been located outside the flood wall constructed to protect the Visitor Center from post-fire floods. The Friends have contributed $1000 to dismantle the horno and rebuild it inside the flood wall at a more permanent location.

Dorothy Hoard Backcountry Ranger:
