March 12 For native Santa Feans, the field trip to the watershed in 5th grade epitomizes outdoor learning. But recently, few students have made their enduring visit with the Santa Fe Watershed Association. "We haven't been able to do in-person field trips since fall of 2019," says Morika Hensley, director of planning, education and restoration at the association. Field trips make up the bulk of students' outdoor education, relegated to a few sessions per year, including the well-known Audubon New Mexico and Santa Fe Botanical Garden trips offered to elementary school students. When shared indoor environments like classrooms became uninhabitable last March, shuttering schools across the state, formal outdoor learning opportunities also stopped.
