Last week, Ciudad SWCD met on site at Elena Gallegos Open Space with City of Albuquerque Open Space, Hero's Path Palliative Care, and Ground Work Studio to talk about improvements to the facilities for accessibility purposes. We also met on site with potential contractors and Pland Collaborative at the Tijeras Bio-Zone Education Center to discuss construction of the ADA Trail. Why does Ciudad SWCD care about accessibility and equitable access to the outdoors? Ciudad SWCD realizes that in order for individuals to become stewards of our land, one must first connect to nature and the environment around them. Ciudad SWCD believes that connecting to nature is an integral part of the dimensions of health, and when an individual gets outdoors, there are positive health outcomes that create resilience behaviors that directly correlate to resilient community outcomes. Thus, it is our hope that everyone will have access and experience the great outdoors, to grow to love and care for our forests, watersheds, and our lands

It was a great morning for a tour. On Thursday, Dave Gatterman, Executive Engineer at SSCAFCA, Cameron Weber of RIO GRANDE RETURN and Erin Blaz with CIUDAD SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT hosted a site tour of the Harvey Jones Channel. The Harvey Jones Channel is in the Village of Corrales, New Mexico, at the junction between the Rio Grande and the Montoyas Arroyo, an ephemeral watershed that drains approximately 60 square miles of partially urbanized watershed. The Harvey Jones Channel Outlet Modification project has been a model of innovation in both bringing together different stakeholders with different agendas to create a native wetlands environment in addition to all the other benefits derived from the project. #ssscafa #riograndereturn #ciudadsoilandwater #wetlands #project #villageofcorrales #sandovalcounty
