A study has been completed by city mayor Richard Berry to investigate the long-term management issues facing the green areas surrounding Albuquerque’s section of the Rio Grande, and it makes some concrete suggestions that are intended to help preserve this natural space for future generations to enjoy.
One of the recommendations involves improving public access trails, making them useable by everyone’, including people using wheelchairs or pushing a stroller. This may reduce the current number of informal pathways that cut through the area in a haphazard fashion, causing harm to wild spaces.
A second proposal is that the invasive, non-native species should be removed and the native species, such as willows, be reintroduced. This would involve improving the areas along the river that are wetlands. It would also mean that the cottonwoods, which filled in the area after flood controls were put into place, would need to be managed, as many of them are aging.
A third part of the proposed plan would include improving parking areas and increasing the amount and quality of the signage being used. This would make it easier for people to find their way around, and provide information about the parkland, its facilities, and the plants and animals that make their homes there. A Print company would be able to provide this, custom printed to suit the needs of the public and the area’s conditions.Get a Free Quote for Print
