EVERY KID OUTDOORS
Otero SWCD is happy to announce that there is funding available to pay the transportation costs for 4th graders in Southern NM to visit our national parks and public lands. The goal of the program is to support the youth initiative, Every Kid Outdoors. This project was made possible by a grant from the National Park Foundation through the generous support of donors from across the country. Photos of the trips will be shared with the National Park Foundation (photo release required). More information is available here: Every Kid Outdoors Factsheet |
