Conservation in the Land of Enchantment 

An Exclusive WildEarth Guardians’ Tour of the Southern New Mexico Wilderness 

Santa Fe, June 25, 2010. WildEarth Guardians, in collaboration with Seven Directions|Cultural and Sustainable Tours, features a 5-day tour into America’s first wilderness bioregion, the Gila Wilderness.

Escorted by a biologist in wolf ecology and wildland conservation, also accompanied by a Chiricahua Apache guide, guests are immersed in the nexus of a wild and free environment, thus preserving the authenticity of this theme tour.

The last day will be at Ted Turner’s 400,000-acre Armendaris Ranch, which contains some of the most pristine Chihuahuan desert grassland in the Southwest.
