We received a surprise visit from Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland and Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández today at Pecos National Historical Park. Their unannounced visit was well received by our local summer Crew #10 working at the Park on a fencing project.
Although brief, Sec. Halaand and Rep. Fernandez asked the crewmembers about the project, their focus on education goals as well as future career goals.
Sec. Halaand has been a strong supporter of RMYC when she was in Congress and we are very excited to see this same level of support for the Corps movement as Secretary of the Interior. Rep. Fernandez is a YCC alumni and truly understands the power of conservation work. Thank you both for the visit.
