We are committed to protecting the last unobstructed wildlife corridor on Sandia mountain by supporting the USFS decision to close the La Madera area to motorized use. (Alternatives 1, 4,5, and 6 in the E.A.)

We are embarking on a two year wildlife mural project along Hwy. 165 through Placitas which will involve community members, businesses, school children, and seniors to create a lasting, visible reminder of the wildlife connections we value.

We continue to build local support of wildlife corridors through community outreach and education by publishing maps and information packets.

To work with NMDOT and other agencies to construct a bridge over Las Huertas Cr. at I-25 to replace the existing culverts. This will allow safer passage of wildlife under the interstate along a vital wildlife corridor.
