Embudo Restoration Initiative
March 2011 – Earth Works Institute is launching the River Ecosystem Restoration Initiative program in Embudo with a community meeting at 4 p.m., Sunday, March 20, 2011 at the Embudo Community Center. The first phase of this program will run through June 2013, establishing an ongoing stream restoration program in the Lower Embudo Valley in order to restore acequias and farms, reinvigorate the local acequia-based farm economy, and bring back the traditional trout fishery in the Lower Embudo. Funded by the State of New Mexico, partners include: Embudo Valley Acequia Association; BLM; Rio Arriba County; Chimayo Conservation Corps; Arid Lands Institute of Woodbury University, Burbank, CA; Forest Guild; New Mexico Environment Department. More information to come.
