Review for Santa Fe Watershed Association, Santa Fe, NM, USA
The Santa Fe Watershed Association is a remarkable organization that is active in three major areas: education, advocacy, and restoration. Among other things, they lead hikes into the protected upper watershed area, teach students in Santa Fe's schools, lead workshops about adapting to climate change, organize tree plantings along the river, and run the successful Adopt-the-River program. Most recently, the Santa Fe Watershed Association played a key role in winning passage of a Living River Ordinance, which has made Santa Fe the first city in New Mexico to set aside water to keep the river flowing through our community.
