Ranch Teaches Youth About Sustainability
The Galloping Grace Youth Ranch near Rio Rancho uses discarded food from local businesses to feed its animals and teach kids aged 4 to 17 about sustainability. Co founder Max Wade notes the program trains junior leaders who educate younger campers, while Renee Griffith oversees animal care and the food recovery effort with donors like Roadrunner Food Bank and Rio Rancho Public Schools. In August the ranch donated 1600 pounds of packaged pork to Roadrunner Food Bank, with pigs at the ranch expected to yield about 2000 pounds of food to be redistributed to hunger relief programs.

Art fraud hits Native crafts in New Mexico and beyond
Ira Wilson of Shumakolowa Native Arts in Albuquerque warns that fake Native American art is a spreading problem in Sandoval County and across New Mexico. He notes that imitations deplete artists’ earnings, misrepresent symbolism, and exploit buyers while hurting silversmiths, basketry, pottery, and weaving communities. Demonstrations and public education seek to curb counterfeit sales.
