NextGen Week Fourteen!đź’š
This week, participants explored the many ways our natural resources shape our communities and everyday lives. The cohort worked alongside local artist Citlaly and her sister to learn the process of creating a community mural centered around sustainability. Through creativity and collaboration, participants explored how art can be used to express important messages about caring for our environment.
The week also took participants to Tres Hermanas Farm, where they learned how agriculture impacts our land, soil, and water. They continued these lessons through hands on cooking, using locally sourced ingredients to prepare traditional New Mexican style food while learning about the importance of supporting local farmers!
This weel was a reminder that sustainability can take many forms and that caring for our environment also means celebrating our culture, supporting our communities, and working together toward a healthier future! 🌎

NextGen ABQ Cohort: Weeks 9 & 10 Recap 🎥
Two weeks of leadership, learning, and community impact!
Our NextGen participants put their skills into action through community outreach, public speaking, and hands-on herbalism activities with local 3rd graders!

They also explored the behind-the-scenes work that keeps Albuquerque’s parks and open spaces thriving, from urban forestry and water management to trail building and conservation.

These two weeks were all about turning knowledge into action and growing the next generation of community and outdoor leaders.

From learning about Water Is Life to reaching new heights on the rocks. Our Semilla Outdoors team guided students from Wilson, Hayes, and McKinley Middle Schools through a day of environmental learning and rock climbing.

Students connected with the land, challenged themselves, built confidence, and discovered the power of outdoor adventure.
This is what outdoor education is all about.

NextGen Durango Trip Recap! 🏕️
Our NextGen crew took their learning outdoors with an overnight trip to Durango, Colorado! Participants practiced foundational camping skills, set up tents, explored the high country landscape on a group hike, and deepened their connection to the land through reflection, land based learning, and a plant watercolor activity. 🎨
The trip was also about slowing down and building community. From sharing dinner and s’mores around the fire to stargazing, morning coffee, and packing up camp together, participants had opportunities to practice leadership, teamwork, and caring for the spaces we visit. Another adventure filled with new skills, stronger connections, and memories made outside! 💚

This week, our Albuquerque and Farmington NextGen teams came together in Durango, Colorado. This week was centered around connection, outdoor adventure and creating new memories together. Participants had the opportunity to step outside of their usual environments, get to know one another and put the skills they’ve gained throughout NextGen into practice.
From setting up camp and spending time outdoors to land based activities, watercolor painting and conversations around the fire, each experience gave participants a chance to strengthen their relationships with one another and the outdoors.
This week was about building community and celebrating how much participants have grown throughout the program! đź’š
