Acequias, communally-managed gravity-fed irrigation systems found across the state and in southern Colorado, have nourished our working lands and communities for centuries. A leading example of a regenerative system that builds social and ecological resilience, acequias are one of our greatest teachers.

Hosted by the Quivira Coalition, be inspired by acequia systems and collaborative land stewardship at the 9th annual New Mexico Working Lands Summit June 11-12, 2026. Located in Taos, farmers, ranchers, community members, and conservationists will share about cooperative decision-making when it comes to managing waterways, fields, and forests.
