June 21: Acequias in the Landscape

Santa Fe’s Acequia Madre is one of the longest-used, community-operated infrastructural  systems in our regional cultural landscape.  It is both a reflection of Santa Fe’s geographic elements and has influenced the contemporary urban fabric for which it is often masked by.  Come learn more about the acequia system through a presentation and tour of the Railyard Park’s acequias led by Paul Navrot, Master of Landscape Architecture. 11 a.m. to noon.
