Keep the Rio Grand

As you enjoy hiking and cycling through our beautiful bosque this summer, help us . Stay on the designated trails, don't litter, and pick up after your pets!

One way that you can help prevent stormwater pollution and other ecological issues is by planting and caring for native, drought-resistant plants in your garden. These plants don't need excessive pesticides or chemicals, which can pollute our river and our drinking water.
