Stewards VISTA: Middle Rio Grande Urban Waters Partnership
 
 
 
This VISTA appointment will support the Middle Rio Grande Urban Waters Partnership. The Middle Rio Grande Urban Waters Ambassador will work to protect, restore and revitalize urban water resources in the Middle Rio Grande Area and the watershed associated with the project focus areas identified by the Partnership. The Partnership will use the mission, vision and principles of the National Urban Waters Federal Partnership to guide the work: • Promote clean urban waters; • Reconnect the citizens to their waterways; • Promote water conservation; • Promote economic revitalization and prosperity through existing networks of urban water resources; • Encourage community involvement through partnerships; • Engage and hear the needs of the communities involved; and • Focus on measuring results and evaluation to fuel future successes. Our VISTA will integrate into selected priority projects led by various organizations to provide diverse and varied opportunities from hands-on restoration to planning and policy work. The Middle Rio Grande Urban Waters partnership has launched a new model for how they function, called the Project Incubator model, and the VISTA will continue to facilitate the development and implementation of that model. The VISTA will assist The Nature Conservancy in leading urban conservation projects, participate in coalitions, and assist other agencies where the Conservancy is a partner on the project.
