SUMMARY:New Earth Project Site Visit
DESCRIPTION:Part of this year’s Gila River Festival.  Register now; space is limited. \nBioreactor Tour with Mike and Carol Fugagli\nParticipant limit: 30 Fee: FREE\nDifficulty: Easy \nMeeting location will be at the New Earth Project site along San Vicente Creek. From Gough Park in Silver City take Hudson St. ( Highway 90) south to Ridge Road. Turn left on Ridge Road and then left on Mobile Drive. Signs at the end of the pavement will direct you to parking at the New Earth Project site. See map. \nSilver City\, like many small mountain communities in the American southwest\, is directly in the crosshairs of climate change. To have a livable future\, not only do we need to reduce current carbon emissions\, but carbon drawdown from the atmosphere is a necessary component in all climate models. To respond to this emergency\, the Upper Gila Watershed Alliance launched the New Earth Project\, focusing on carbon sequestration\, food security\, fertilizer and pesticide replacement\, soil health\, food waste reduction\, and landfill methane reduction. The centerpiece of this project is an innovative technology: Johnson-Su composting. Johnson-Su composting is a static\, aerobic composting system that specializes in the production of a microbially diverse\, fungal rich compost that can greatly increase the soil’s potential to sequester carbon\, increase water retention\, fix nitrogen\, and increase plant growth and food production while greatly reducing the need and high costs associated with nitrogen/phosphorus fertilizers and pesticides. The New Earth Project’s Johnson-Su bioreactors are highly replicable using food waste from school cafeterias\, and shredded woody biomass acquired from urban silviculture and local forest thinning projects. This program is implemented in tandem with a grade school curriculum and youth employment plan. On this field trip\, we will demonstrate how a Johnson-Su bioreactor is filled and describe how it works\, discuss how we make biochar using the Ring of Fire\, and visit a greenhouse heated with a biochar energy system.

SUMMARY:A Walk Around The Garden
DESCRIPTION:Part of this year’s Gila River Festival.  Register now; space is limited. \nParticipant Limit: 12\, Fee: $30\nDifficulty: Easy; The terrain is flat\, mostly not wheelchair accessible.\nMeet at the Gila Valley Library Garden at 411 Highway 211 Gila NM. \nThe Gila Valley Library has created a demonstration garden that is a center for educational programs for young people and the general public\, helping to foster an understanding of the numerous benefits of community forests\, pollinator habitats\, and application of conservation principles. Various techniques have been employed to conserve water\, enhance soil microbes\, and help plants thrive in the harsh desert climate. This garden is the first demonstration site for the application of New Earth Compost\, a biologically diverse and fungal dominant compost that works in partnership with plants to capture carbon in soils\, increase soil water holding capacity\, fix nitrogen\, and improve plant and soil health. \nThis walk around the garden with Monica Rude will include discussion of native and climate-adapted plants to attract pollinators and other beneficial insects\, how homeowners can turn their yards into wildlife habitats\, desert gardening techniques\, composting\, weed management\, water conservation techniques\, mulching\, the importance of saving seeds from and growing natives instead of cultivars.

SUMMARY:Water is Power with L&J Ranch
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Gila River Festival. \nLocation: Seedboat Center for the Arts\, 214 West Yankie Street \nThe Gila River Project investigates one of America’s most expansive ecosystems. Named as America’s most endangered river in 2019\, it persists despite the severe threats of climate change\, the demands of ranching\, agriculture and mining\, and the impacts of recreational and residential development. Exploratory expeditions took place via an Airstream trailer that served as a mobile laboratory/studio. Location-based research considered the politics\, history\, culture\, and resource management in 9 regions along the river\, from its origin in the Gila Wilderness to its junction with the Colorado River. A custom designed medallion was installed at significant site-specific locations that represented the focus in each region. The Gila River Project aspires to illuminate the relationships that define what can be referred to as ‘eco-plasticity\,’ the inherent characteristics that enable continuous change in response to physical\, cultural\, and biologic elements. \nThe L&J Ranch is an art + research venture that explores the relationship between ‘place’ and the life it enables. Joel Slayton is an artist with expertise using media technology to explore complex systems and networks. Lisa Johanson is a clinical research scientist studying motor control and neural plasticity. Through their collaboration\, Joel and Lisa are developing a series of artworks that probe the relationship between land-use and sense-of-place.

SUMMARY:Gila Hot Springs Geology Tour
DESCRIPTION:Part of this year’s Gila River Festival.  Register now; space is limited. \nParticipant limit: 12\, Fee: $30\nDifficulty: easy\nMeet at 10:00 am at Gila Cliff Dwellings parking lot.   Travel time: ~1hr 45 minutes via Highway 15. Field trip will end at 2 pm to be back in Silver City by approximately 3:45pm. \nBegin in Silver City on US Highway 180/Silver Heights Boulevard should take Pinos Altos Road which becomes New Mexico Highway 15 North. NM 15 begins in Silver City and only heads north. Continue for 42 miles until you reach the Gila Visitor Center. To reach the dwellings turn left just before reaching the visitor center and continue for 2 miles until the road ends. The first 25 miles of NM 15 are narrow with steep sections of 10-12% grade for several miles and there is no center dividing line. Vehicles should use lower gears when driving to avoid overheating brakes and stay as far right as possible\, especially on tight curves. \nJoin us for an incredible\, hands-on tour of the geologic history of Gila Hot Springs with Eric Head. From its super volcano origins\, to the catastrophic earthquakes and landslides that reshaped the landscape and gave birth to the area’s hot springs\, to the massive lakes that gave rise to our modern Gila River Headwaters\, tag along with Eric Head as he takes you across the valley for a hands on tour of the forces that have shaped this place we love so much. \nWe will start at the Gila Cliff Dwellings parking lot\, where all of the major geologic events of the area are laid out right in front of you. Then we will travel a few miles down the road to the river where we can see the aftermath of a few of the events up close\, do a little rock hounding and identification\, and cool off from the heat of the day. After a quick stop for ice cream at Doc Campbell’s General Store\, we will head back upstream to the Middle Fork trailhead and take a short (~ ½ mile) hike to Light Feather Hot Springs\, where 140 degree water pours out of the living rock! Make sure and bring shoes that you don’t mind getting wet and please feel free to bring swimming gear – there is no place like the Gila River for a refreshing dip in the cool water on a hot day!
