The Nature Conservancy. Protecting nature. Preserving life.™

PNM has donated $10,000 to The Nature Conservancy in New Mexico to support ongoing work at the Santa Fe Canyon Preserve including a forest management plan that will create a healthier forest and protect the municipal water supply. 

“We’re grateful to PNM for their tremendous support,” says Jackie Hall, the Conservancy’s Director of Philanthropy in New Mexico. “The donation helps us protect our landscapes and waterways that mean so much to us.”

In 2002, PNM launched the Santa Fe Canyon preserve project with a 188-acre land donation. Years of restoration and conservation have turned what was historically once a hub for the city’s hydroelectric production into an oasis with wildflowers, willows, deer, bear and beaver. “The donation will help us protect the preserve for wildlife and habitat as well as for outdoor enthusiasts,” adds Hall.

PNM values the Conservancy. “We believe in the work The Nature Conservancy does throughout our state,” says Diane Harrison Ogawa, director of Community Relations and Stakeholder Engagement. “Their science-based conservation work provides solutions that benefit all of us. We’re proud to partner with such an amazing organization.”
