DWU Members needed for water project Dec-4-5 2009
Dear Members,
We hope you can help out at the next project. Another notice will be sent when it gets closer to the date.
Thanks!
Desert Water Source Project
A water source project is scheduled to be completed on Friday - Saturday, December 4-5, 2009 between Brawley and Blythe, CA.
DWU always needs workers to help. If you are interested in assisting on this project please call Leon Lesicka at (760) 344-2793.
To have a map faxed or emailed to you, in PDF format, send an email with your name to DesertWildlife@aol.com .
If you plan to stay over on Friday night, you will need to camp out and bring food and snacks. Dinner Friday evening and lunch on Saturday will be provided. Four wheel drive pickups are required.
Remember, if you participate in a work party you will need plenty of water and ice (at least five gallons per person per day), a wide brimmed hat, sun screen, and a pair of work gloves. If you plan on spending the night you will also need your camping gear.

DWU installed four new drinkers last year and performed maintenance on many others including hauling water to those that had not received any rain to be sure they contain water.
The desert deer continue to be in excellent condition and there seems to be a much larger population due to the generous rainfall in the past few years.
Abundant rain and the 120 plus watering facilities installed by DWU since the group was founded have played a large part in allowing our desert deer herd to increase in size.
