Our staff and volunteers had a blast last night at the El Paso Chihuahuas game! It’s always a treat to take a break with community partners and celebrate the work we do together in our very own Sun City 😊

Start off your summer solstice with a nature therapy walk! On the longest day of the year, Frontera Land Alliance invites you to slow down, tap into your senses, and explore your relationship with the northern Chihuahuan Desert. This event, led by a certified nature and forest therapy guide, will be a unique, shared experience of quiet attention and deep listening.

Big thanks to , our amazing guide park ranger Wendy and to the community for participating in our history of hueco hike earlier this year! We took a hike on the Mescalero trail and got to see the amazing petroglyphs, pictographs, wildlife and geology of Hueco Tanks State Park. 🐦‍⬛⛰️🐏🦎

Keep an eye on our socials for a chance to join us on a hike this summer!!!

Hotter days are upon us, and with them come our misunderstood friends, the snakes 🐍.
Last week our Open Space Manager encountered different species of snake at both the Knapp Land and Lost Dog properties. Because she practiced the very important 6th Principle of the Leave No Trace values: Respect Wildlife, she was able to enjoy watching these beautiful creatures in their native habitat from a safe distance.
While the first neighbor, a bull snake, in slides 1-3 appears frightening during their “S stance,” it is doing a great job of bluffing as it is 😃nonvenomous😃. It would rather spend its energy hunting rodents, lizards and even eggs instead of approaching a passer-by.
The striped snake in slides 4 and 5 is our native banded rock rattlesnake, who is ‼️venomous‼️ and should be given a wide, respectful distance if sighted. It, too, would rather hunt small mammals instead of risk approaching a hiker on the trail.
These creatures are an important part of our natural spaces and a blessing to witness sharing our wild spaces with us. Keep an eye out for them on your next visit.
See you out there! 🥾
