Volunteers remove graffiti on the Sandia Ranger District
As part of National Public Lands Day (NPLD), the Friends of the Sandia Mountains (FOSM) and the Talking Talons Youth Leadership/Youth Conservation Corps (TTYL/YCC) used specific process techniques and chemicals to remove graffiti from two locations. Working in coordination with the Sandia Ranger District, crews removed graffiti from two locations in the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Water System Canyon just east of the La Luz Trailhead parking lot.
Defacing any part of public lands degrades the experience of other visitors and is illegal.
The Forest Service discourages individuals from cleaning graffiti on their own. People who attempt to remove graffiti can cause permanent damage to cultural and archeological sites, become injured venturing off trails or use incorrect materials for the removal of the graffiti. Unauthorized graffiti removal may be tampering with a crime scene that can hamper an investigation.
