Charmeine Wait, executive director of the Silver City MainStreet Project, looks out over a less-developed portion of Big Ditch Park just south of the Thomas J. Ryan Public Safety Building, near where she envisions a connecting trail to Gough Park and an arch to mark a now nearly invisible entrance to the San Vicente Trail that exists on Hudson Street.
Although it lacks an identified source of funding at the moment, President Joe Biden’s “America the Beautiful” initiative could be just what Grant County needs to take its outdoor recreation economy to the next level, while simultaneously helping address the communitywide effects of climate change.

The event was organized in collaboration with the Santa Clara Action Committee.
Grant Countians picked up a lot of trash this weekend: About 120 volunteers filled approximately 200 trash bags along U.S. 180 from Silver City to Hurley on Saturday, as well as along several creeks, in honor of Earth Day, which was April 22.
The Gila Resources Information Project has been celebrating Earth Day throughout April, and in lieu of its usual big celebration in Gough Park, a few volunteers hosted a single information booth beside the Murray Ryan Visitor Center on Saturday. The booth served as headquarters for a Big Ditch cleanup project, a Continental Divide Trail scavenger hunt and information about migratory cliff swallows

SILVER CITY - In the spirit of the Holiday Season, the SW Women’s Fiber Art Collective, Silver City MainStreet, and the Murray Ryan Visitor Center are working together for the “Need a Hat – Take a Hat” program.
Susan Allen, a member of the SW Women’s Fiber Arts Collective and a board member of Silver City MainStreet, organized area knitters to make hats for people who may need them this winter. The hats have been placed on a tree and placed in front of the Murray Ryan Visitor Center.
If you are interested in donating a hat, leave a hat in the collection box in front of the visitor center. As always, wear a mask and practice social distancing.
