As part of Latino Conservation Week, we’ll be offering two rafting adventure options through Glenwood Canyon on September 13: a calm float, perfect for those who want to enjoy the river and scenery at a relaxed pace, or a more adventurous experience with rapids and a little more excitement. Pick your adventure!

Spanish interpretation will be available, and we’ll have a meal together in Glenwood Springs after the trip. Spots are limited — register soon!

Note: The minimum age for this activity is 6 years old.

Fishing on Public Lands, September 17–18, 5:00–6:30 PM

In partnership with Garfield County Libraries, join us for a two-part fishing experience designed especially for those who want to learn about the sport and enjoy it in community. On the first day, we’ll learn where, when, and how to fish—from the basics to tips that will help you feel more prepared on the water. On the second day, we’ll put what we’ve learned into practice during a community fishing day at Lions Pond in Rifle, with guidance from instructors and all the equipment you’ll need. No prior experience or personal equipment is necessary. Bring the family if you’d like!

Spanish interpretation will be available, and after our fishing day in Rifle, we’ll share a meal together as a community.

Stewardship Day at Linwood Cemetery /Doc Holiday's Trail 

For the fourth year in a row, RFOV, Defiende Nuestra Tierra, and the City of Glenwood Springs are coming together to celebrate Latino Conservation Week with a fully bilingual conservation day at Linwood Cemetery (Doc Holliday’s Trail).

Join us as we care for this historic site while working together to improve trails, restore the landscape with native seeds and pine straw, remove invasive species, and improve the sustainability of the area. It’s an opportunity to learn, give back, and enjoy our public lands together as a community!

Spanish interpretation will be available, and we’ll share a meal together in Glenwood Springs afterward.

Join us for a fun, family-friendly celebration of Latino Conservation Week! Together with Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, Latino Outdoors, Wilderness Youth Project, and Los Padres Forest Watch, we'll explore the amazing plants, animals, and insects that call our local environment home. This free bilingual and bicultural event is open to all ages and is a great opportunity to connect with nature, learn something new, and spend time with your community. Registration is required as there is a 50-person limit for this event. 

The event takes place at Elings Park in Santa Barbara, where you'll receive a brief lesson on local biodiversity efforts, a nature zine created by the Botanic Garden, and meet 4 local organizations doing conservation work in the region. We'll also take a short, easy walk (about 15 minutes) to a nearby native plant restoration site, where you'll see how restoring local habitats helps birds, bees, butterflies, and other wildlife thrive. You'll participate in a native seed collection effort and also see how native plants differ from their non-native counterparts. Along the way, you'll discover simple ways we can all help protect the natural places around us. You'll leave the event with your very own native plant to take home and care for!!

Please bring a hat, a reusable water bottle, comfortable walking shoes, and a sense of curiosity. Whether you're new to exploring the outdoors or already love spending time in nature, we look forward to sharing this experience with you and your family.

Coffee and pan-dulce will be served in the morning and burritos from Del Pueblo Cafe will be provided for lunch.
