EcoWISER New Mexico

  Living with the Landscape (LWL) is a grant-funded, multi-visit program offered by Hawks Aloft to schools throughout New Mexico. The focus of the program is ecology and conservation education using live, permanently disabled raptors and hands-on activities to teach concepts such as animal and plant adaptations to their environments, ecosystems and habitats, food chains and human roles within ecosystems. During this program students take field trips to local natural areas, often with Hawks Aloft’s partner organizations, and complete a conservation project, determined by the classroom with the help of Hawks Aloft educators. Past projects have included: habitat restoration, schoolyard habitat creation, endangered species releases, litter cleanups and school water conservation campaigns.
