Community
“The outdoors and public education shouldn’t be two separate ideas. We need to figure out a way to bring public education and environmental education together to make sure that our kids are aware of the resources that we have in our community and why we need to protect those resources.”
– Laura Flores, Albuquerque, New Mexico
Faith
“A church will not be effective if it’s always inside.”
– Pastor Moses Borjas, El Paso, Texas
Outdoor Access
“At the end of the day the benefits that we get as humans from being in nature are wide and grand but you don’t need to be a professional Alpine climber to get them. So, how do we change that narrative so that everybody knows that everybody’s welcome.”
– Gabaccia Moreno, Nuestra Tierra Conservation Project
Traditions
“Our rural areas are declining in population and in opportunity. How do we keep it going is a big question. It’s not just sheep. As most everyone knows, it’s agriculture in general that’s under a lot of pressure all the time.”
– Molly Manzanares, Chama, New Mexico
