July 16, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "New Mexico Land Conservancy"
Ron Troy of the New Mexico Land Conservancy will describe how this small land trust has helped landowners across New Mexico and southeastern Arizona protect the places they love. Learn how the NMLC team's passionate and hard-working efforts have resulted in the protection of more than 130 properties comprised of approximately 675,000 acres along with the myriad of associated conservation values.
"The permanency and the breadth of fish and wildlife habitat, cultural resources, restoration activities, working farms and ranches, food security, and scenic open space that NMLC's work has embodied in their 20-year history as a 501c3 non-profit is inspiring," Troy said.
"We'll also have a slide presentation that will show the State of New Mexico and southeast Arizona's natural resources. You can learn how NMLC's conservation easements, along with the landowner's they work with, protect, and often restore and enhance many of these hidden treasures," he added.
