"By doing this work you can say you are part of this. You become stewards making sure our river is healthy, so it can go on for future generations." -Arian Velazquez-Ornelas
Big Bend River Rangers engages students, teachers, and their families in the protection, connection, and reclamation of the Rio Grande. Students in the program explore the watershed, monitor the health of the river, and learn from elders who are helping to inspire this next generation of caretakers.
We need your support to continue this vital program.
We’re thrilled to announce a new collaboration with conservation artist, Dana Falconberry. The River is Home celebrates the importance of the river and all who live in the Big Bend. The bandana features the Rio Grande, with its canyons, multiple names—in Lipan Apache, Spanish, and English—and the flora and fauna found at the river's edge.
The bandanas are 100% cotton and measure 22x22 inches. Choose between two colors—blue or khaki.
Show your support for the students of the Big Bend. When you donate $60 or more, you'll receive one bandana. When you donate $120 or more, you’ll receive two bandanas. And that's not all—for every bandana purchased, we'll donate one to a student, too.
And your donations have a bigger impact right now—our friends at Permian Basin Area Foundation are generously matching your gift, helping support youth stewardship and this Big Bend Conservation Alliance program.
