Did you know half of our volunteer teams are from 10 Santa Fe Schools? These teams visit the river several times over the school year. Over 30 visits per year to the river or an arroyo will be lost this year since COVID. Since these teams have been sidelined the river and arroyos will build up. (See our FB video of one volunteer team that cleaned up 6 months worth of river trash. It took 6 hrs to clean out the build up since the shutdown began.)
We need your help more than ever to rescue these areas from extraordinary amounts of trash. Who wants to see the river with a years worth of trash in it on their next walk?
Volunteers like you can help keep our River and Arroyos a pleasant refuge from today's worries for all.
Call or email us today. We'll help you with the details from where to go and how to be safe. We also follow state health COVID preventions measures.

About The Santa Fe Watershed Association
Location:

Mission Statement
Established in 1997 , t he mission of the Santa Fe Watershed Association is to protect and restore the health and vibrancy of the Santa Fe River and its watershed for the benefit of people and the environment. We achieve this through education, restoration, stewardship, and advocacy. From the River’s headwaters to the Rio Grande, we honor the connection of people and the watershed.
Description
The Santa Fe area faces the ongoing danger of catastrophic fire in our overgrown upper watershed, above the City drinking supply reservoirs. Management of the forests that safeguard the reservoirs has been an important theme for the Watershed Association, but in the past few years we have given new attention to the middle and lower stretches of the river. In particular, we are advocating restoration of consistent flow to the river to support vegetation and wildlife habitat, while recharging the groundwater. We are striving to create a sense of responsibility and common interest among all residents of the watershed. Additionally, our education programs have provided opportunities for locals to experience the Santa Fe River and its watershed through both school and public programs. Programs are designed to highlight a variety of ecosystems and explore ways that humans impact water and water impacts humans.
