HECHO: Hispanics Enjoying Camping, Hunting, and the Outdoors

HECHO (Hispanics Enjoying Camping, Hunting, and the Outdoors) is a group for Latinos who enjoy fishing, hiking, hunting, camping and other outdoor activities. We are seeking to balance development with conservation, and we believe that it can be done by engaging more Latinos in the effort to protect public lands.

Sabinoso Wilderness Area: Open to the Public!

I recently had the honor to speak at an event celebrating the recent opening and expansion of the Sabinoso Wilderness Area to the public. This was the result of years of hard work among Latino public lands advocates, sportsmen and other northern New Mexico stakeholders.

Celebrating the 112th Anniversary of the Antiquities Act with Max Trujillo

This month we’re celebrating the 112th anniversary of the Antiquities Act, a law enacted and first used by President Theodore Roosevelt. Sixteen presidents (8 Republicans and 8 Democrats) have taken action to preserve our American heritage by designating places of cultural and historical significance as national monuments—places such as the Grand Canyon, the Statue of Liberty, César E. Chávez National Monument, Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, Organ Mountains Desert Peaks National Monument and the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument.

As we recognize this legacy of preserving these places that has lasted well over a century, we joined up with the new group Artemis Sportswomen for a conversation with two New Mexicans active in conservation. Max Trujillo from HECHO and Christine Gonzales from Artemis were kind enough to hop on the phone and share their experiences with public lands and conservation and reflect on the importance of why we protect the places we love.

Want to Have a Voice in Public Lands Policy? Now is the Time to Apply!

Believe it or not, some good news has come out of Washington recently related to public lands. On March 23, President Trump signed the omnibus spending bill, which included a two-year reauthorization of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self Determination Act (SRS Act). This is hugely important for supporting schools in rural areas, as well as road maintenance and Forest Service Resource Advisory Committees (RACs), which are solely funded by this bill.
