I work frequently for the Taos Land Trust of Taos, New Mexico, USA. TLT conserves open, productive, and natural lands for the benefit of the community and culture of northern New Mexico. They help landowners create voluntary conservation easements to permanently protect family lands and land for the public while staying involved in long-range land conservation planning at the local, county, and state levels. Overall, they have permanently protected more than 25,000 acres of irrigated farms and ranch lands, wildlife habitat, and beautiful open landscapes throughout northern New Mexico. My work involves photographing some of the land owners who have donated conservation easements to future generations.

Loretta Trujillo

Trujillo donated fourteen and a half acres of this ecologically important stream-fed agricultural and prime riparian habitat. Known as the Martinez Property, the land lights a bright green, cat-tailed view-shed just east of State Highway 522 where the road snakes through the village of Arroyo Hondo north of Taos, New Mexico.
“It is just simply a beautiful piece of land,” says owner Loretta Martinez. “It would be a shame to see it as anything else.” Fourteen and a half acres may not seem like much but it is the quality of the land that counts.
