HECHO's First Advocacy Trip

On September 28th through 30th HECHO brought Hispanic leaders from Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah to Washington D.C. to advocate on a range of policies including the Grand Canyon Protection Act, the Save Oak Flat Act, and the Hermits Peak Fire Assistance Act. As HECHO continues to grow our Hispanic Conservation Leadership Council, made up of local and state leaders and elected officials in the Southwest, we are determined to continue our effort to elevate these leaders’ voices in conservation work.
