Celebrate Planet Earth is proud to announce a $500 matching donation for 2025 to the Friends of Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. This contribution will directly support efforts to sow native plant seeds throughout the Rio Grande river corridor, an initiative crucial for the preservation of this delicate ecosystem.
Located in the New Mexico high desert, Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge is an exceptional natural area. It represents a precious segment of the Rio Grande that largely mirrors its pre-altered state, though its current ecological balance relies on intensive management. The refuge is renowned for its sandhill crane population, which winters there, and serves as a year-round sanctuary for a rich diversity of wildlife.
