Cebolla Wetlands Restoration

Cebolla Canyon is primarily within and protected by a congressionally designated Wilderness Area (Cebolla Wilderness) within the congressionally designated El Malpais National Conservation Area (EMNCA) near Grants, New Mexico. The project area has multiple designations including Wilderness Area, and National Conservation area. However, all of the project area is Bureau of Land Management Public Lands.  Within the project area, Cebolla Spring and Cebollita Spring emerge from the ground and provide habitat and/or water to a variety of wildlife species.

​

A number of restoration initiatives have been undertaken by the Rio Puerco Alliance, partners such as Keystone Restoration Ecology, Zeedyk Ecological Consulting, the Bureau of Land Management, and more.
