TRI-COUNTY — The Big Bend Conservation Alliance (BBCA) announced a new collaboration with artist Dana Falconberry to support The Big Bend River Rangers.
The Big Bend River Rangers engage students, teachers and their families in 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.
Dana Falconberry has designed “The River is Home.” This 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. For each bandana purchased, a River Ranger will be gifted one too.
Donations have a bigger impact right now as the Permian Basin Area Foundation is generously matching donations, helping support youth stewardship and this BBCA program.
The campaign begins December 2, 2024, and will continue through the end of the year.To support this BBCA program or to learn more, visit www.bigbendconservationalliance.org.
