Santa Ana Pueblo in recent months has been working with the Bureau of Reclamation to restore a 2-mile stretch of the bosque along the Rio Grande to the state many elders recall as children.

Non-native species have over-run the area in the past 50 years, causing the slow death native species like cottonwood and willow. The cause of the change in environment was the contruction of dams and levees by the federal government.

The Pueblo and the BOR have received funding assistance for the project from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
