Southern High Plains Preserve
The Galisteo Basin Preserve represents a core, unique, and progressive approach to conservation. Our partnership with Commonweal Conservancy began with introducing prairie dogs that were in mortal danger from development. As a keystone species, prairie dog introductions have been welcomed and we are expanding this successful program to encompass two species of prairie dogs, which is unprecendented. We are also creating a plan for restoring bison to the region, as well as land remediation incorporating GPRC’s successful Ecological Health programs. This wild 12,000 acres is near both Santa Fe and Albuquerque, as well as 10 Native American Pueblos, offering exceptional opportunities to serve youth and young adults in these communities.
