Silva Creek Nature Trail Construction

Under Construction

Aldo Leopold High School Youth Conservation Corp (YCC) Trails Crew students have been working since December to complete the Silva Creek Nature Trail from the historic Waterworks Building on Little Walnut Road to Penny Park. The project includes building the entire trail, clearing invasive trees, replanting native species, building retaining walls, creating egresses from the creek bed, and installing benches and a water fountain. The trail is part of the Town of Silver City's Trails and Open Space plan and involves a public-private partnership between the town and Southwest New Mexico ACT (swnmACT).
