Western Resource Advocates
Western Resource Advocates fights climate change to sustain the environment, economy, and people of the West. Last month, WRA and its partners celebrated Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s signing of Senate Bill 9, establishing the Land of Enchantment Legacy Fund, the largest land and water conservation investment in New Mexico history.
Santa Fe Conservation Trust
The Santa Fe Conservation Trust works to improve everyone's quality of life in and around Santa Fe through its conservation, trails, and community programs that provide more equitable access to nature. Last year, SFCT protected 2,200 acres, created over 75 miles of trails, hosted 28 field trips, and more.
Community Matters: Executive Director Learning Circle
This month on Community Matters, we speak with Ross Chaney, the Co-Facilitator of the Executive Director Learning Circle at the Santa Fe Community Foundation’s Learning Hub. This popular program connects and supports Executive Directors in our local nonprofit sector, covering topics like board diversity, organizational growth, personal resiliency and beyond.
New Mexico Volunteers for the Outdoors
Last year, New Mexico Volunteers for the Outdoors (pictured here) celebrated its 40th anniversary. Since their inception, this all-volunteer nonprofit has completed over 780 projects to improve public lands in New Mexico, including 34 last year at locations like the Randall Davey Audubon Center & Sanctuary, Galisteo Basin, Rio en Medio, and Santa Fe National Forest.
Wildfire Recovery: One Year Later
At the height of last year’s Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak wildfire last spring, the nation’s attention focused squarely on New Mexico. But by the time the fires were contained in August, the country’s attention had turned elsewhere – and locals were left to continue the hard work of recovery they had begun months before. Today, that work continues with the help of many individuals, organizations, and our Community Resiliency Fund.
Las Campanas Community Funds
Our community extends much farther than the hustle and bustle of the Santa Fe Plaza. Out in the quiet, rolling high desert hills of Las Campanas, the members of the Las Campanas community have taken tremendous steps to aid our region.
