Silver City: Gateway to the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail
Wednesday, April 20, 2022, 11:00am - 12:00pm |
Presented by Corey Torivio and Dan Carter; Wednesday, April 20, 11 a.m.-noon at WNMU Global Resource Center/ABC Rm., 12th and Kentucky St., Silver City. Masks are mandatory.
The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail is much more than a line on a map or a path on the ground: it is a living museum of the American West, a place to reconnect with nature, and a unifying force bringing people of all walks of life together. The mission of the Continental Divide Trail Coalition is to complete, promote, and protect the CDT, and Silver City works in partnership with the CDTC to welcome trail visitors to the area and to invite new audiences to the trail. Learn about the communities, cultures, and landscapes that are connected by the 3,000+ mile route from Mexico to Canada, how Silver City benefits from being a CDT Gateway Community, and how you can experience the trail for yourself right from Silver City.
Torivio is the New Mexico regional representative for the CDT Coalition. He is from the Pueblo of Acoma, the founder of the Ancestral Lands Conservation Corps, and has devoted his life to giving Native youth an opportunity to be successful in the ever-changing world.
Carter is the CDT Coalition Trail and Lands Conservation manager. He is the founder and president of the Southern New Mexico Trails Alliance.
