No matter what holiday you celebrate at the end of the year – Christmas, Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, or Kwanzaa – chances are you still have a few gifts to buy.
We know that pocketbooks are slim this year, and that you’re trying to curb your consumerism.
A purchase from the Gila Conservation Coalition will help you finish your shopping, get a bargain, and protect the Gila River. Everything you purchase from us will support our work on behalf of the Gila, New Mexico’s last free-flowing river.

Gila Libre! $20
The story of a geographic anomaly that includes roughly four million acres of the nation's first designated wilderness area, New Mexico's largest national forest, and the state's only undammed river. Visitors might spot a beaver and a coatimundi on the same day, an elk and a javelina on the same hillside, or catch a flathead catfish and a wild trout in the same pool. Apaches roamed along the Gila's shores, as did mountain men and outlaws. It also tells the river's story to date, extolling what is still a unique Southwest resource and speculating on its future, which includes the threatening proposal of a major state and federal water project. University of New Mexico Press, 2008. 6 x 9, 144 pgs, color photos and illustrations. Paperback.
