SLVEC has a new Communications Manager and Outreach Coordinator: Carmen! As a San Luis Valley native, she was both born and raised in the SLV. This is where she learned a love for the outdoors. From the time she was young she knew she wanted to study environmental science.

Because of declining populations of plant and animal species, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) was passed in 1973. The year-2023, marks 50 years since the enactment of the ESA. The Southwestern Willow Flycatcher is one of the ESA protected animals.

The importance of public land management often goes beyond the charged topics we sometimes see in the headlines. Here, the Alamosa Citizen explores one of our more unique projects in the San Luis Valley, and we think it's worth a read.

A New Hampshire man celebrating his birthday on the ocean with his three daughters captured video of something so rare that even marine scientists are jealous — three humpback whales leaping from the water in near perfect unison.

@RonFilipkowski Why would any hard working American want to give up their public lands, that are a legacy to future generations and contain critical habitat, to private land developers? Privatize profits and socialize losses. Not a good idea.
