Clothing:
This is a remote desert area, and the possibilities of life-threatening injuries exist. Volunteers should be in good physical condition and comfortable hiking in rugged terrain. You must be able to hike down off the mountain if necessary. It is impossible to know what the weather will do. In years past we have had snow and we have had 90-degree heat. Come prepared- bring your hat, gloves, and sunscreen. Wear broken-in hiking boots.
What Do I Bring:
Bring plumbing tools, digging tools, drill batteries and whatever else you think we might be able to use.
Register:
We need to know if you are coming so that we may have an accurate headcount for meals. You must be a Texas Bighorn Society member to attend the Work Project. Register by calling 806-745-7788, Texting 806-790-3837, or click button below.
Deadline to register is February 27, 2026
