Join The Clean Up 

Each team will have a designated team leader take photos/videos (before/after) of the group cleaning up their designated area. 

 

All photos will be saved for a specific date in June when all groups registered to clean up have gone through and completed their clean up.

 

 There will be a week where each group can post their photos on Instagram, and Facebook platforms to receive “likes”.

 

At the end of the week we will access each group's photos and document the amount of “likes” their post has. The group with the most “likes” will receive the 1st place prize, with other runners up also receiving prizes.

 

As this is our first time putting on an event like this, we may change the rules with notification to all teams.  Rule changes will be made by the members of the Tunnel Springs Project board, but updates will be given promptly.

You Could Win, here's how

The Tunnel Springs Vista is located just east of Alamogordo near Cloudcroft, New Mexico along Highway 82.  Tunnel Springs includes two waterfalls and several areas of cascading water. The area is on National Forest land and has not received funding or care in several decades. Over time, the site has accumulated excessive graffiti and trash. The original trail is washed out steep and quite dangerous; a new trailhead has been informally tramped out that is much safer and has a gradual descent but is unmarked. 

The Tunnel Springs Challenge goal: 

 

  1. Assemble teams, 

  2. Clean up the graffiti and trash 

  3. Document the cleanup with pictures and video for social media

  4. Bring well deserved awareness to the site

​

Cleanup Dates will be April 23 and April 30 with Social Media Contest to take place on  a designated date to be announced

As this is our first time putting on an event like this, we may change the rules with notification to all teams.  Rule changes will be made by the members of the Tunnel Springs Project board, but updates will be given promptly.

Thank You

We want to thank all the teams that came out and participated in the first round of clean ups for the blitz! You and all of your teams did an amazing job spreading the word and passion for the Tunnel Springs Project! Together we cleaned up trash, removed tons of graffiti and left the Vista Tunnel Springs more beautiful for the people who come behind us! Projects like this require togetherness, groups and people with passion for mother nature; Alone we can do so little, but together as a team we can do so much!

Our goal is to continue to not only keep the area clean but enhance/improve  the safety of the trail and bring awareness to this magical part of our community for all to enjoy!
