Our Operations Team recently had the privilege of taking part in the annual La Cienega community limpia (or acequia cleaning). This was an especially important year as the mayordomo who had been overseeing these communal water systems for 60 years stepped down, and passed the reins to his grandson. It is so special to be a part of such a long standing cultural tradition and it always feels good to come together with your neighbors for the greater good.

We recently had the pleasure of tagging along with some of our Leonora Curtin Wetland Preserve citizen scientists. It was fun to see them in action, monitoring wild life, hypothesizing goings on, and working together to clean out some of the bird boxes within the preserve. It turned out to be a very exciting day in the field when we discovered flicker s**t, bones and feathers in the kestrel box, and what we think may have been a Western Screech Owl in the flicker box! Never a dull moment exploring nature. Stay tuned for more information on all the wonderful programs we’ll be offering at the preserve this coming season.
