The Santa Fe Watershed Association is working to restore the Santa Fe River and its watershed through advocacy, education, hands-on restoration work, and a growing network of partners.

We advocate for policies that will restore the Santa Fe River to a level of ecological health that sustains aquatic life, wildlife, trees and plants, and our ground water.

Our programs both restore and build support for a living river through education and activities that connect people to the river.

THANK YOU TO REI

& WHOLE FOODS MARKET!

We express our most sincere gratitude to our local REI store and our local Whole Foods Market for their financial support of our activities!

REI staff nominated the Santa Fe Watershed Association for a grant process in which we were awarded $5,000 to help revegitate the new Santa Fe River Trail in the Barrio La Conquistadora neighborhood. Thanks to Barbara Fix, Susan Westbrook, and Gail Haggard of Plants of the Southwest, who are designing a xeriscaped landscape that will be a model low-water use landscape along the trail. If you would like to volunteer to help us plant this fall (dates to be announced), please call Pamela here in the office: 505-820-1696.

Additionally, Whole Foods Market staff nominated us to be the beneficiary of their raffle proceeds when they raffled a bike and other goodies on Earth Day. They also generously donated a portion of their proceeds to us from flower bouquet sales during the month of April.

We greatly appreciate the funds from both of these companies that contribute so much to making their local communities thrive!

Thank You to The Levinson Foundation for sponsoring the 2010 Santa Fe River Festival!
