RGALT Newsletters

Welcome to the Fall 2021 newsletter from RGALT — your window into how local landowners, conservation advocates, and community supporters are coming together to protect farmland, water, wildlife habitat, and cultural heritage across the Middle Rio Grande Valley. This issue explains how RGALT’s work aligns with the nationwide America the Beautiful Initiative, highlighting voluntary conservation easements as a key way to safeguard private agricultural lands for generations to come. You’ll also read personal stories from farmers committed to protecting their family lands, learn about how the Covid-19 pandemic changed RGALT’s annual fall fundraiser into an online auction, and see how your support matters now more than ever in the fight to preserve New Mexico’s rural landscapes, biodiversity, and local food systems.
