A schedule of events and more details about Latino Conservation Week may be found at https://www.nmwild.org/lcw/. The Continental Divide Trail Coalition (CDTC) is the 501(c)(3) national nonprofit working to create a community committed to constructing, promoting, and protecting in perpetuity the CDT, which stretches from Canada to Mexico, through Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico.  With offices in Golden, CO, Helena, MT and Santa Fe, NM, CDTC is recognized by the US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and the National Park Service as the lead national partner in the stewardship of the CDT and is involved in trail planning, scouting and construction, fundraising, advocacy, volunteer recruitment and coordination, distribution of public information, education, and conservation of the trail and its corridor. Most important, CDTC is creating a long-term trail culture that will love, support, and protect the trail not only today but for future generations.
