Reflection/Evaluation
I was unprepared to make comment on our work with our local Open Space. I did participate in the call to a slight degree. We haven’t worked in our area lately. I was trying to establish some work in April but COVID-19 came along and has halted any progress. My husband and Bro, Bob and I have made a couple trips to our Shining River site to survey what needs to be done. I hope the RGVBB can resume some agency activity this spring and summer if COVID-19 magically disappears. I have made an attempt to reach out to the Albuq. Wildlife Federation to join in their activities, but all is on hold for now. Eventually COVID will be a thing of the past and we can continue our Broadband work with various agencies.
