DOI/VISTA Take it Outside! New Mexico
 
 
 
TIONM! is a partnership including the Bureau of Land Management-Las Cruces, the Lincoln National Forest, White Sands National Monument, Mesilla Valley Bosque State Park, Oliver Lee Memorial State Park, Asombro Institute for Science Education, Las Cruces Museum of Natural History, the Alameda Park Zoo in Alamogordo, New Mexico State University STEM program, Dona Aña Groundworks, and local municipal and county government institutions. It is not a single entity or organization – it is a concept – a collaboration. It is a group of partners joining resources to help youth and families in southern New Mexico by using our resources and lands as educational, healthy backdrops and stages to help improve local communities. The VISTA will help this group to become a solid fixture in Dona Aña and Otero Counties by helping the partnership to develop a five year plan that includes fundraising, networking and vision development.
