The event was hosted by Breanne Lucero, Land of Enchantment Young Ambassador, with special guest Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, in partnership with the City of Socorro. 

The community cleanup was held at Otero Park by the Bosque in Socorro as part of the Keep Litter Out of Our State program and the Great New Mexico Cleanup.

The Bosque Cleanup at Otero Park was part of the #KeepLitterOut campaign and focused on improving the river and bosque area in Socorro. We had 25 volunteers who helped pick up trash and protect this important habitat.

During the event, we collected 45 bags of trash. This helped prevent litter from entering the Rio Grande and irrigation systems, protecting wildlife, water quality, and the local environment. We also had the Governor of New Mexico stop by and help, which showed strong support for our cleanup and the #KeepLitterOut campaign.

Number of Volunteers – 25

Number of Bags of Trash Collected – 45
