SUMMARY:Spring 2026 Red Canyon Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Be a part of a habitat restoration study at the Spring 2026 Red Canyon gathering! Join us for a weekend of camping, cactus adventures, and conservation volunteer work.\nIf you’ve been to Red Canyon Reserve, 320-acres in the eastern foothills of the San Mateo Mountains, you know it’s a special place for early morning canyon walks, meals around the fire, and deepening your connections with the great outdoors. Red Canyon Reserve is a living laboratory for community building and learning about rangeland health, Southwestern flora and fauna, and erosion prevention.\nOn Saturday morning, you’ll learn how to build Zeedyk rock structures, a low-cost, high-impact conservation practice that increases the hydraulic and ecological sustainability of a dryland area. You’ll be able to take that knowledge onto your own land while volunteering to keep Red Canyon Reserve a healthy habitat.\nOn Saturday afternoon, you’ll be a part of a Quivira Coalition habitat restoration study. Joining us from University of New Mexico and Quivira’s Dr. Eva Stricker, who will lead us in a soil amendment activity focused on enhancing grasslands and stream systems in southern New Mexico. This is a great chance to learn and ask questions about organic soil amendments like biochar and branch mulch.\nOn Sunday morning, Cari Powell, director of Friends of Bosque del Apache’s Desert Arboretum and member of the New Mexico Cactus and Succulent Society, will lead us on a hike to learn about the native cacti and succulents of Red Canyon Reserve.\nQuestions? Contact Nina Katz, education and outreach project manager, at education@quiviracoalition.org ( mailto:education@quiviracoalition.org ).\nInterested in learning more about the meaning and importance of Zeedyk rock structures?\nCheck out these resources:\n– Down to Earth podcast episode with Bill Zeedyk\n– One-rock dams with producer, Ariel Greenwood\n
