Santa Fe Conservation Trust We envision a future where everyone in northern New Mexico cherishes nature and works to preserve it for this and future generations. Saving Land. For Everyone.

Forever. New Mexico’s stunning, untouched landscapes—the life-supporting lands essential for healthy wildlife, clean air, pure water, and food-producing soils—are rapidly disappearing. The Santa Fe Conservation Trust is helping to create a network of natural, open lands in and around our communities, forever protected for all living creatures. By providing landowners with tools to place their lands into voluntary conservation status, we now oversee the protection of more than 45,000 acres in northern New Mexico. The Santa Fe Conservation Trust partners with our community to keep northern New Mexico’s living lands and people flourishing together. We protect culturally and environmentally significant landscapes, ignite people’s passion for nature, and enable the continual regeneration of our healthy place. We are a private non-profit organization, supported by the generosity of hundreds of people who share our passion- a healthy environment sustaining a healthy community. Learn more about the Santa Fe Conservation Trust and ways you can join us in our efforts to save the enchantment of Northern New Mexico.

From Backyard Blooms to Breathtaking Centerpieces!

Tamara lovingly nurtured and grew the flowers, then a talented team of volunteers brought them together into stunning arrangements for Stand Up for Nature. The centerpieces filled the room with color and beauty and were shared with attendees at the end of the evening.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this homegrown vision blossom!

Hard Work, Heavy Rocks, Happy Trails! 🥾💪🌿

It was quite a trek just to reach the spot on Cañada Rincón Trail where recent storm runoff had taken a toll on an important GUSTO trail connection!

But that didn't stop our incredible SFCT volunteers! Hauling boulders and rocks over long distances, swinging pickaxes, and shoveling dirt, this hardworking crew put some serious muscle into restoring the trail!

A HUGE thank you to these dedicated volunteers for going the extra mile - literally - to help keep Santa Fe's trails safe and accessible. 💚

Hard work, great teamwork, and a whole lot of heart!

“Desde aquí puede ver todo el mundo.”
“From here, you can see the entire world.” 💫

At Stand Up for Nature, we were reminded that conservation is also about giving the next generation the chance to experience nature for themselves - to scramble over rocks, peek under logs, explore, get curious, and discover just how big their world can be.

Those moments matter. A child standing at Picacho Overlook, gazing across Santa Fe in wonder, can carry that experience for a lifetime.

Tonight, your support helps create more of those moments connecting kids with nature and ensuring these special places are here for generations to come. 🌿✨

A Tray of Holy Objects
Discover new paintings by SFCT friend and resident expert Blair Vaughn-Gruler, inspired by the pottery shards resting at the ancestral archaeological site of Pósi-Ouinge Pueblo near Ojo Caliente.

Because these protected artifacts must remain at the site, Blair documented them through photography and plein air painting, then incorporated their portraits into larger oil and mixed-media works. The result is a powerful reflection on ancestral resilience and the layers of history beneath our feet.

On view now through October 25 closing reception at Materiality Fine Art, 241 Delgado Street.
