The Pitchfork Ranch in southwestern New Mexico offers a powerful story of habitat restoration and climate action. For 21 years, A. Thomas Cole and his wife Lucinda have transformed 11,300 acres, creating a vital ciénaga wetland, desert grassland, and wildlife corridor. This extensive work aids carbon sequestration and reintroduces endangered species, providing a tangible solution to environmental challenges and an inspiring call to action.

In an upcoming Speaker Series talk, Cole will detail their journey, from his distinguished legal career to dedicating retirement to this critical restoration. The Coles hope to draw down carbon and inspire others to join the struggle for a better planet. Learn more: Website, Events, Donate, Instagram, Facebook.
