We want to congratulate the State of New Mexico and the New Mexico Department of Wildlife on the acquisition of 11,000 acres of land in the Mimbres Valley, including a 2-mile stretch of the Mimbres River. The Mimbres Ranch Wildlife Management Area is an extraordinary opportunity to protect and steward the land, water, wildlife, and culture of the Mimbres Valley for generations to come. In addition to creating new public lands available for outdoor recreation and hunting, the purchase also provides additional habitat for conserving two native fish species, the Rio Grande sucker and Chihuahua chub. Thank you to Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and Representative Nathan Small for championing this important conservation achievement! #GRIP #MimbresValley #MimbresRiver #ManagementArea #Stewardship

On Thursday, the Grant County Commission approved a notice of intent to consider a one-year moratorium for data centers. Brought forth by Commissioner Nancy Stephens in response to the Site Layer 1 Data Center proposal noticed in the Silver City Daily Press at the end of August, this temporary pause will allow the Commission to gather information from independent experts on the pros and cons of adopting county regulations for data centers. The vote on the ordinance itself will take place at the Commission’s regular meeting on October 22. More information at:

OUR STRATEGY

GRIP works in communities, in the courts, and in the state legislature

to protect community health, our environment, and natural resources.

Together, we can secure a healthy future for everyone!

OUR WORK

GRIP serves as a watchful guardian of our environment in southwest New Mexico. We keep an eye on activities with the potential to harm community health and our environment, such as polluting mining operations, unsustainable water use, and ecologically harmful projects. In response, we bring technical, policy and legal expertise to protect our land, air, water, public lands and wildlife. By facilitating informed public participation, we engage the public in natural resource use decisions and stewardship of our natural systems.

PROTECT

We work to protect community health and our natural resources by
ensuring responsible operation and reclamation of the region’s mines, by fostering resiliency and water security in the face of the climate crisis, and by saving our special natural areas and public lands for future generations.

ADVOCATE

We defend human and ecological health by using technical, policy and legal expertise to uphold safeguards of our water, air, land, and natural systems.

ENGAGE

We engage our community to take action to protect our environment, public health, and unique wild places through educational events and stewardship programs

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

There are lots of ways to get involved with GRIP and help us safeguard community health by protecting our environment and natural resources. At the same time, you’ll learn skills, meet new friends, and feel good about contributing to our community!

  • Volunteer on specific projects such as water quality monitoring, trash cleanup, environmental education; review mining permit applications or project environmental impact assessments; and administrative tasks.
  • Volunteer for events, such as Earth Day, World Water Day, and the Gila River Festival.
  • Contribute some of your creativity to help us achieve our mission, such as photographs, articles, or art work.
