The Radical Center.

This project involves restoration work along Cedro Creek in the Cibola National Forest, with-in the Sandia Mountains. The goal is to restore approximately two miles of stream and create approximately sixteen acres of wetlands and wet meadows. School children, teachers, restoration trainees, local residents, environmental organizations and other cooperators will help implement treatments.

Largo Creek
In 2001 The Quivira Coalition began working with a Catron County rancher, at his request, and the U.S. Forest Service to develop a new management plan for his ranch.

Loco Creek
On the Williams Ranch in 2003, work shifted from Largo Creek to Loco Creek, an ephemeral tributary that is deeply incised and a major source of erosion.

In December 2004 we printed the report "Of Land and Culture: Environmental Justice and Public Lands Ranching in Northern New Mexico" by Ernie Atencio.

The Mesteño Draw Ranch, established in 1991 by Joan Bybee, is located 7 miles north of Mountainair, New Mexico along the base of the Manzano Mountains within a Piñón/Juniper Grassland ecosystem.

"A Grassbank is defined as a physical place, as well as a voluntary collaborative process, where forage is exchanged for one or more tangible conservation benefits on neighboring or associated lands. Grassbanks are one of the innovative initiatives spawned by efforts to conserve working landscapes."
