As you embark on your summer adventures—maybe a road trip through the mountains, a quiet hike on a desert trail, or just some well-earned rest under the shade of a mesquite tree—we hope you’re finding peace and joy in the natural world around you.

Right here in El Paso, one of our most cherished wild places is turning 20 years old: The Wakeem/Teschner Nature Preserve at Resler Canyon.

For two decades, this urban canyon—once threatened by development—has remained protected because people like you believed in the power of open space, quiet beauty, and community action. Resler Canyon is more than just a trailhead or a view—it’s a symbol of what we can protect when we come together.

Today, Resler’s desert trails are walked by families, birdwatchers, students, and hikers alike. Wildlife like bobcats, quail, and lizards still roam here. Desert blooms still surprise us with their resilience.

Your gift helps us care for this place and all it represents.
With your support, we’ll:
🌿 Restore native plant habitat
🥾 Maintain trails for all to enjoy
🧠 Provide educational experiences for youth and schools

Whether you give $10 or $100, your contribution is a gift back to the land—a thank you to a place that’s been giving to us for 20 years.

💚 Let’s celebrate Resler Canyon’s 20th anniversary by ensuring its next 20 years are just as wild, welcoming, and well-loved.
