THE PLACE: We will be exploring several of the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance’s Wilderness inventory areas within Otero Mesa. John Wenger is bringing his art bus, and participants will create art inspired by the various animal and plant species that live within these roadless units. We know that Otero Mesa is abundant in wildlife, yet most of the species in the region have not been formally documented. Help us build the case for preserving America’s wildest grassland. Fall is the perfect time of year to see Otero Mesa with its grasslands blooming.
