Speakers at a celebration marking the 25th anniversary of Bernalillo County Open Space praised the agency’s preserved properties and the community members who worked to secure them.

One speaker said the story of open space is the community’s legacy and emphasized that the lands are for the public, the neighbors and the larger community. Another speaker described visiting the South Valley and feeling gratitude for those who sought funding to buy and protect open-space parcels so current residents can enjoy them.
