Fresh Connections
A Santa Fe Alliance networking event to start off the 2010 Farm to Restaurant Project
Monday, February 8, 2010 - 10:00 a.m - 3:00 p.m.
Santa Fe Farmers Market Pavilion
Fresh Connections is a networking event for food growers and buyers committed to creating a healthy regional food economy. Commonweal will have a table at the event with information about the Galisteo Basin Preserve, the proposed Village, available properties, and our hopes for a Preserve agriculture program. We'll highlight the Southern Crescent orchard and community garden area - and look for folks interested in helping us get this garden started! We will also be available for "curbside consulting" on land-use issues.

We had a great time with Earth Works Institute, the Climate Change Conservation Corps, and volunteers during these two days at the Galisteo Basin Preserve. Together, we planted a lot of plants along a rehabilitated length of the Arroyo de los Angeles, led two interpretive walks covering land restoration and landscape's ecology and history, and had some good conversations about how to build a community of land stewards at the Preserve. Thanks to everyone who participated! |

September Star Party at the Galisteo Basin Preserve
Friday, September 25, 6:00 pm – 10:00 pm
Thank you to the Santa Fe Conservation Trust, the Capital City Astronomy Club, and everyone who attended for making this event a success! We enjoyed a great sunset and the music of Cris Phillips and Michael Shepherd with our BYO picnics, and it was fun to connect over hot cider and cookies as the Peter Lipscomb oriented us to the starry night sky above the Galisteo Basin Preserve. The night was crisp and clear, and stargazing with the Capital City Astronomers was wonderful, even with some moonlight thrown in. |

We had a great time! Thanks to everyone who came out for our first "Trails + Telescopes" event, hosted at the Galisteo Basin Preserve by Commonweal Conservancy and the Santa Fe Conservation Trust.
