| NWS Albuquerque's David
Craft, Ken Drozd, Mark Fettig, Kerry
Jones, Deirdre Kann, and Daniel Porter
staffed a booth at the 4th Annual Quivira Coalition that was held
January 14-15, 2005 at
the Albuquerque Hilton. The Quivira
Coalition is a non-profit institution whose mission is to foster ecological, economic and social health on western landscapes through education, innovation, collaboration, and progressive public and private land
stewardship.
This years' theme was "Half Public, Half Private, One West: Innovations and Opportunity Across Boundaries."
Sessions included progressive ranch management, scientifically-guided riparian and upland restoration, land health assessment and monitoring, and bridge-building among ranchers, environmentalists, federal and state agency personnel, academics, and members of the Public.
The NWS Albuquerque Storm Spotter Enhancement Team (ASSET)
gave out nearly 50 brochures and
spotter information cards that it had developed specifically for
this event. Additionally, NWS Albuquerque's booth provided
participants with an in-depth look at the vital role spotters play
in forecast and severe weather operations throughout New
Mexico. ASSET signed up near two dozen spotters,
most of them ranchers throughout rural New Mexico. |
