About

Our Mission

The permanent protection from future development will illustrate a significant step to expand conservation education to marginalized communities who disproportionately bear the brunt of climate impacts and traditionally have less access to nature. The area has been preserved in its pristine natural state due to the long-standing stewardship of Fort Bliss and a Castner Range National Monument (CRNM) designation would forever protect the land’s cultural, historical, scientific and environmental attributes. Further conservation of Castner Range will preserve the fragile lands now surrounded by development.
