Restoring a River Park – Restoring Relationships: Improving Environmental and Community Health in Las Vegas, NM
This year’s CIRD Workshop in Las Vegas, New Mexico, hosted by the Hermit’s Peak Watershed Alliance (HPWA) brought a new focus to active listening and drew upon the community's knowledge to plan the town’s future river park. By empowering independent voices, members of the town worked toward a foundation of communal trust and common purpose: what emerged was a shared love and value for the river.
