@RepGabeVasquez @newmexicotech Our organization in Silver City is making a soil microbial inoculant to sell to farmers. It's called Johnson-Su compost with the ability to store up to 30 metric tons of CO2/ha/year in the world’s degraded
agricultural soils. I'll send information.

The Gila River is one of our nation’s most iconic and endangered rivers, and it’s worthy of designation as Wild & Scenic. That’s why I’m proud to join @MartinHeinrich to champion the M.H. Dutch Salmon Greater Gila Wild and Scenic River Act.

[Martin Heinrich @SenatorHeinrich]

Designating some of our most treasured rivers—like the Rio Chama and sections of the Rio Grande—as #WildAndScenic has led to better water quality, economic development, and outdoor rec opportunities. By protecting the Gila, we can bolster New Mexico’s southwestern communities.

Let’s celebrate and contemplate the wild nature of our watershed.

This September is National Wilderness Month.

The proclamation details the president’s commitment to equal access to public lands, fighting back vs. climate change and celebrating and preserving wilderness areas.
