Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps

As the ALCC Hiking Club sessions have concluded for our Acoma & Gallup offices, We'd like to share a compilation of their adventures within the State of New Mexico. Historically the Hiking club's goals are to create meaningful experiences for Indigenous youth to explore historically significant locations around the state. Throughout these sessions and journeys hiking club participants are able to gain a deeper understanding and relationship with our ancestral lands and lifeways. We like to give our sincerest thanks to those who made this year's Hiking club a blast! Our staff who helped with planning, to our Hiking club leaders for guiding the youth and braving the heat! This season would not be possible without the Outdoor Equity Fund grant we received from the New Mexico Outdoor Recreation Division. Their Outdoor Equity Fund supports our aforementioned goals which allowed us to hire Hiking Club crew leaders early to allow adequate time to build an impactful program by creating lesson plans, identifying learning objectives, and building relationships with project partners. We are super appreciative of the opportunity to be selected. Check out their programming at https://ow.ly/66UO50T1Iy4 or New Mexico Outdoor Recreation Division on socials.
