The BLM is proposing the lease of public lands east of the Continental Divide in the Rio Chama Watershed to private oil and gas companies. This is a problematic proposal for many reasons. The goal of this event is to help inform our community about potential risks associated with Hydraulic Fracturing.
Split Estate allows us a glimpse of what Hydraulic Fracturing has brought to other communities, and gives us a choice to inform ourselves and get involved.
Our communities are worth fighting for! We can make a difference!
FREE refreshments will be served. We hope to see you there.

Rio Arriba is the name of our county and our group but more then that it means “Up River” and is a reminder that in New Mexico we are “up river” and what happens here will affect many downstream. Get involved today.
