TBT to when cave specialist Knutt Peterson gave a talk at the Old Lincoln County courthouse about the Fort Stanton Cave🏦 One of the things he highlighted was the 7000 hrs volunteers have dedicated to the cave over the past year😲assisting with vital restoration & exploration projects 7000 hours. That's 292 days, 42 weeks, or 10 months. That's a LOT of work. Thank you, volunteers! 🙏

Happy Spooktober!😱 Camping on your public lands can be thrilling - or chilling! Gather 'round the campfire for some ghost stories that will send shivers down your spine … if, you know, you're into that kind of thing. Happy camping⛺🎃

🌋Hikers who joined our "Lava Lookout Hike" at Valley of Fires Rec Area last weekend picked the *perfect* day with clear skies & comfy temperatures. Ft. Stanton NCA Manager Warren Kasper led the 2-mi hike along the Kipuka Trail, offering insight into the area's geologic history. Missed the hike? Go on your own anytime. 🔗blm.gov/visit/valley-fires-r…

🌟Oct is National Disability Employment Awareness Month!🌟 DYK only ~19% of Americans with disabilities are currently employed? Of course, disability doesn't just look like one thing. Most of us think of disability as mobility impairments, but it can also be something you can't see, like mental health challenges or chronic illnesses. Creating inclusive work environments is essential for empowering all individuals💪Here's what we can do: ✅Flexible Work Arrangements ✅Accessible Facilities ✅Awareness Training for employees ✅Open Communication

100 volunteers. 6 containers of waste. 1 epic cleanup. Our Farmington Field Office celebrated National Public Lands Day with 4x4 drive club the Cliffhangers, cleaning up Glade Run Rec Area. They collected everything from tires🛞to mattresses🛏️& everything in between. Is there a prize for most trash collected? Maybe this team should get it🏆
