Our Mission:
Community Science, Education, and Stewardship: Equitable and inclusive hands-on student research essential to the management of the Rio Grande ecosystem.
Science
Through science, all things are possible. By giving our community an opportunity to participate in community science, we can gather information about the riparian forest (bosque) while allowing students and volunteers alike to learn firsthand about the complex ecosystem that is the Rio Grande bosque.
Education
We believe that education helps cultivate an understanding and respect, not just for our own bosque, but the planet as a whole. Through the education of the general public, especially our students, we seek to provide good data in order to inform public policy. There’s nothing greater than empowerment through education.
Stewardship
It is our responsibility to work together to study and learn about the Middle Rio Grande bosque. With meticulous research, data collection, and careful planning, we can begin to understand the overall condition of the bosque. Through community science, we hope to instill an environmental ethic that can transfer far beyond the bosque.
We added new activities to our Educational Resources page so you can engage in hands-on science exploration wherever you may be. Check out our social media pages below for challenges and updates!
