This year’s Wilderness Conference is sure to instill new vigor and dedication in all who love, enjoy or work to protect New Mexico’s wildest landscapes! Offerings include workshops on discovering New Mexico’s secret landscapes. A special journaling workshop delves into the richness of experiencing wild nature. Here, attendees create a living notebook from reflections on nature through drawing, writing & alternative media.

Special awards will be presented to Senator Jeff Bingaman and Governor Bill Richardson for their outstanding work to protect Wilderness. Renowned landscape photographer David Muench will do a slide presentation honoring the memory of Stewart Udall, former Secretary of the Interior.
Endangered species stenciling & wildlife viewing sessions will be held outside in the Bosque, during lunch. A film highlights the work on the Mexican Wolf conservation stamp & a silent auction of weekend getaways & fun items round out the day. We invite you to join us for a day of networking, wildlife, and learning who is doing what for New Mexico’s wild public lands!
