Darien Fernandez: "Our Public Lands Are Essential to Our Traditions, and Way of Life."

Our public lands are essential to our traditions, wildlife, and way of life. They are integral to our heritage, culture, and future. Each of us must be responsible stewards of these shared spaces and continue to advocate for their protection for future generations. "For many of us, the public lands nearby are the most affordable way to connect with nature. These lands provide us with food on the table, and that’s what’s at stake. That’s why we need to get involved. Rally now, educate others, and let people know we support public lands," said Darien Fernandez, Taos Councilmember and member of HECHO’s HCLC.
