The Santa Fe Conservation Trust is a 28-year old nonprofit that
- Protects over 43,000 acres locally and in northern NM to support wildlife habitat, prevent loss of biodiversity, and increase resilience to climate change.
- Safeguards and supports outdoor recreation through development of local trails (75 miles), continual maintenance of existing dirt trails for the City of Santa Fe, and creation of new trails to improve connectivity.
- Promotes equitable access to nature through community programs that bring hundreds of kids, families, elders and individuals onto trails who may not have the ability or inclination to do so otherwise.
