Another successful Rio Fernando cleanup day in #Taos #NewMexico this morning! I really wish we didnt have to do this, but we do. And we always get some great volunteers. Kudos to Amigos Bravos for leading the charge! #nmwx #nmwater #NMTrue.

20+ folks came out yesterday in 92F heat to remove about 1.5 miles of old barbed wire fencing within our National Monument. The fencing was negatively impacting wildlife movement & getting in the way of great mountain biking trails. #RGDN #Taos #NMwx #NewMexico #PublicLands
