Last week we partnered with Tree New Mexico to plant 14 drought- tolerant trees at Rio Fernando Park. Volunteers from Taos Community TimeBank and our YCC Forest Crew planted 3 box elders, 2 honeylocusts, 3 apples, 1 radiant crabapple, 3 New Mexico Olives, a Serviceberry and a Catalpa. Tree NM provided an additional 15 giveaway trees for participants to take home. As the climate changes, we are focused on planting trees in the park that require less water and are acclimated to hot and dry conditions.

Last week, our Park Corps interns completed in-field soil assessments as a part of their learning about soil health and healthy soils management practices. The data they collected will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the healthy soils practices that we’ll be putting into place over the next year.

This project is part of our partnership with the Vigil y Romo acequia, recipients of the FY 2027 NMDA Healthy Soils Grant, as we work together to help improve degraded soils along the ditch. At Rio Fernando Park, these funds will support (among other things) wood chipping and mulching on our back fields, cover cropping, row crop mulching, and hedgerow planting.

Happy to have our Taos youth involved in this project!

Paper airplanes and peregrine falcons joined forces for today's Physics of Flight workshop. Thanks to all who came out today! Participants learned about how air pressure, lift, weight, thrust and drag contribute to flight. They tested out how different wing shape influences paper airplane flights and then enjoyed a special visit from a peregrine falcon with Santa Fe Raptor Center!

This workshop was part of our monthly Land Lab series, hosted in collaboration with taoslearninglab and sponsored by Los Alamos National Laboratory. Thanks to all who contributed, and stay tuned for more information on our next Land Lab workshops on insects and the science of pollination!
