Exciting news! A diverse coalition of New Mexico residents, local businesses, organizations, and elected officials is celebrating today the reintroduction of the M.H. Dutch Salmon Greater Gila Wild and Scenic River Act in the Senate (S.1476) and the House (H.R. 2903) by Senator Martin Heinrich and Rep. Gabe Vasquez! Thank you to our Gila River champions!

GOOD NEWS: In an incredible display of bipartisanship, Rep. Vasquez has partnered with Rep. Zinke of Montana to introduce legislation that would ban the sale or transfer of most public lands!! The announcement comes as some House Republican staffers float the idea of selling public lands to fund the government and the state of Utah pushes for legal authority to "dispose" of public lands. Thank you, Rep. Gabe Vasquez, for fighting to keep our beloved public lands in public hands!!

Our Work

Founded in 1984, we work to protect the free flow of the Gila and San Francisco Rivers and the wilderness characteristics of the Gila and Aldo Leopold Wilderness Areas.

Gila River Festival

Established in 2005 by the Gila Conservation Coalition, the Gila River Festival is an annual event that celebrates New Mexico’s last free-flowing river and its important role as the centerpiece in our region’s natural and cultural heritage. Held the third weekend of September, the festival is designed to foster a deeper understanding of the Gila River as we explore annual program themes through expert-led field trips and workshops, lectures by scientists, authors, historians, and conservationists, and programming in the visual and performing arts, film, music, and dance.
