The Quivira Coalition has been involved in many restoration projects throughout New Mexico.

In the spring of 2004, Bill deBuys approached The Quivira Coalition with an offer to purchase the Valle Grande Grass Bank (now called the Rowe Mesa Grassbank to avoid confusion with the other Valle Grande) - a combination of private property and a federal permit for livestock grazing on forest lands on Rowe Mesa, located thirty miles east of Santa Fe.

Located southwest of Socorro nestled among the foothills of the San Mateo Mountains, the Red Canyon Ranch is a jewel waiting to be polished. Hard against the boundary of the Cibola National Forest, this 320-acre property was bequeathed to The Quivira Coalition by the estate of Michael Belshaw with the express stipulation that it be "devoted to activities directed toward the preservation of the land and the wildlife, including, but not limited to, a wildlife refuge, research station, study retreat, or a demonstration ranch."
