Sheep Society kicks off annual desert water and survey program.
### ### ### ###EAGLE ROCK -- The Society for the Conservation of Bighorn Sheep, considered by many to be the most dedicated and successful of the hands-on conservation organizations in the country, will begin its 33rd year of its Volunteer Desert Water and Wildlife Survey program with a fun event March 9.
### ### ### ###This first event will be the Bob Campbell Guzzler Dedication ceremony and cow pie flinging contest in the Clark Mountains. Then the usual array of serious work begins with the March 23rd rebuilding of the Surveyor Guzzler in the Old Woman Mountains, the April 13 rebuilding of the Marble Mountains Guzzler, the April 27 Weavernoy Guzzler repair in the Granite Mountains, the May 4 Newberry Mountains Guzzler repair and filling, the May 18 R&R Jessewalla Guzzler construction in the Chuckwalla Mountains, and the June 1 and 22 projects in the San Bernardino Mountains that will either repair an existing guzzler or build a new one.
### ### ### ###Volunteers are always welcome on these efforts that have led to the construction of over 70 big game guzzlers in bighorn sheep habitat in the desert and hundreds of other projects to improve and maintain water flows at many remote springs.
### ### ### ###The annual sheep census work is also conducted by volunteers who sit at desert watering areas during the hottest days of the summer to count and classify sheep. Now that's dedication.
### ### ### ###For more information or to volunteer for any of these projects and programs, call Dick Conti, the SCBS waterhole coordinator at (323) 256-0463.
