Sometimes Cooperation is Key

Working with other organizations makes our conservation efforts stronger.

Here are two projects we’re getting involved with that will get more done than we can do alone.

We’re working with Mesilla Valley Audubon and the New Mexico Department of Wildlife on improving birding access to and reducing cattle incursion onto the Red Rock Wildlife Management Area. These changes will take time to implement but will require help from our members. If you’re interested in helping restore this great birding site, let me know.

We’re teaming up with New Mexico Wild and other conservation organizations to fight the present USDA efforts to remove protections for National Forest Roadless areas. As the Gila National Forest is home to dozens of roadless areas, it’s critical that we protect these wild places for wildlife, clean water and quiet recreation. And we can’t do it alone.

If you want to help out, please let me know by email. Contact us: birdallianceswnm@gmail.com
