If you’re feeling community-minded, the Santa Fe Watershed Association invites you to roll up your sleeves and join their morning river cleanup starting at 9 AM. You’ll help keep the Santa Fe River beautiful and chat with fellow locals who care about our shared environment.Later, if you’re drawn to nature, El Rancho de Las Golondrinas is hosting Wetland Wednesday from 10 to 3. It’s a chance to explore one of Santa Fe’s most peaceful places, learn about New Mexico’s wetlands, and discover the vital role they play in supporting wildlife and clean water. Whether you’re a seasoned naturalist or just want a laid-back stroll, it’s a family-friendly event.For art lovers, today is your last chance to catch “E Pluribus Unum” at the University Art Museum, where over 800 portraits collected from across New Mexico bring together faces and stories from every corner of the state.
