Rafting the Rio Grande with Youth and Congressional Leaders - New Mexico Wildlife Federation

July 19th was a beautiful day along the Rio Grande! We were very excited to take youth from Taos Pueblo, Santa Fe, Jemez, and Albuquerque out on the river and to connect with their elected officials. A special thank you to Far-Flung Adventures for guiding us, Senator Martin Heinrich and Congressmembers Ben Ray Lujan and Michelle Lujan Grisham for joining us!
