THERE’S GOLD IN THE RIO GRANDE Mother Nature and Autumn turn the Bosque of the Rio Grande into golden hues.
NATIVES AND EXOTICS • Cottonwoods and Tamarisk (salt cedar) compete for what water is available. • With autumnal changes, their striking colors almost overshadow their perpetual competition and Tamarisk’s invasive nature.
CAUTION — WORK AREA • Wes Anderson Pond is a man-made habitat that has become home to an industrious beaver or perhaps two that have sharpened their timbering skills and teeth to fell a small diameter cottonwood at the pond’s edge.
Socorro Nature Area • Native trees, shrubs, grasses, invasive vegetation, debris piles, snags and water provide habitat for wildlife and an area for human enjoyment. The Socorro Nature Area is one of the premier areas along the Rio Grande Bosque of the Socorro Valley.
