Foundation partners can have a big impact on this work, which needs immediate implementation and will, undoubtedly, take years to complete.
Last week, the Hermit's Peak Watershed Alliance invited us to join them north of Las Vegas, NM to learn more about the important work ahead in the restoration of our lands and water. Here are photos from our visit:
