There is no power like that of mother earth, la tierra madre. It’s been an honor to join forces with the Sierra Club Military Outdoors program, Outings program, Texas Sierra Club and Far Flung Outdoor Center to bring environmentalists and veterans together from across the country to see, first hand, what we’re defending in West Texas.
Ancient land gives willing hearts a power to heal, grow, and endure. What we give back in return is up to us. And it has been an honor to support this team as they start their journey to explore that question as they embark on a 5-day river trip through Boquillas canyon and lands slated for border security infrastructure development.
The fight to stop the destruction of these sacred lands continues. We all have a part to play. Please follow Texas Sierra Club so together we can keep the pressure on.
Big shout out to Mitch, Sherman, Sheila, Jeff, Eileen, Karen &
Karen, Brad, Cole, Billy & Jessica Bartko and the Far Flung team for coming together for this journey.
