- Landscaping with high attention to detail - maintenance and cleanup. detailed pruning of trees (including fruit trees), shrubs, and flowers. spring cleanup and pruning. fall cleanup and takedown. installation of new garden beds: tree, shrub and flower selection and installation; mulch and/or gravel selection and installation; soil enhancements (nutrients, compost, etc.) for new plants and struggling plants. limited irrigation work. general landscape and garden revivification: weeding, litter and debris removal. tree removal, particularly of invasives; fire mitigation, tree thinning.

We revive spaces—we enter into spaces and unearth their latent beauty. We search for what a particular ecological space, or organism, is attempting to ‘say’, and we try to listen to this, and bring it forward. We feel that this is conducive to a healthy environment and a healthy lifestyle (for people!).

- Ample experience with river work (riparian restoration) - working with native plant species along the river: removal of invasives; maintenance and pruning of native species; encouraging new growth. trail construction. some heavy machine operating (backhoes and skid-steers). construction of erosion-control and/or water retention structures. knowledge of city, state, federal protocols and initiatives surrounding the river. limited knowledge of native insect, bird and wildlife habitats in the river corridor. ability to work with the homeless; cleanup of homeless camps; landscaping with a view to mitigating the setup of new homeless camps. trash/waste cleanup along the river—hauling waste and debris.

We have a strong interest in seeking balance and harmony between the wilderness space of the river and the cultivated space of the city. We have a strong interest, also, in establishing community collaboration and support surrounding the river area—involving local businesses; seeking a cohesive network of river caretakers; encouraging volunteer work; utilizing the river area as a place to educate youth concerning human collaboration with a wilderness space. We hope to work with local schools, etc, to educate the future caretakers of the city.

- Sidewalk, roadway, and median maintenance and cleanup

- Fostering community-involvement and awareness around the river - volunteer days. education about river maintenance—especially regarding native plant species, wildlife/insect habitats, invasive plant removal, etc. education, also, surrounding the collaboration of an urban community with its greater wilderness environment, especially for the youth, but also for the general public. organizing community events surrounding the river.

We want to participate in the effort to make Santa Fe a truly ecologically-minded community of broadly-thinking citizens. We believe that this can be conducive to a more expansive, heightened awareness, in terms of human potential; and we want this to be part of our lives—and we want to carry it forward into our community, into the river, into the city. We believe that the search for harmony between the natural world and the cultural world is an immensely worthwhile project, and we are dedicated and devoted to exploring it.
