Good morning, this is your Santa Fe Local Frequency for Tuesday, April 22, 2025.
We’re waking up to a beautiful Santa Fe morning with a blend of sunshine and clouds. Expect highs today around 63 degrees and lows dipping down to 43—perfect weather for getting outside and enjoying everything our city has to offer.
Today marks Earth Day, and Santa Fe County is celebrating in style this year with new environmental initiatives. The county is distributing 165 trees to local students as part of a broader push to support nature-based climate solutions. These efforts come alongside a new program that will bring even more nature-friendly projects to neighborhoods across the region, so keep an eye out for ways you and your family can get involved in keeping Santa Fe green.
For those eager to make a difference, don’t forget that Santa Fe County is holding a virtual community outreach meeting this evening about the upcoming Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan. This is your chance to weigh in on the big projects that will shape our roads, parks, and public spaces through 2031. The session is open to everyone, giving residents a real voice in the future of our community.
If you’re looking for something fun and enriching this evening, check out the brand new Books Behind the Business discussion series kicking off at the Southside Public Library at 6 p.m. Tonight’s event will feature Santa Fe’s own creative entrepreneurs Jerome Morrison and Lauren Cason. They’ll talk about the books that shaped their journeys in art, technology, and business—including insights into how myth and storytelling fuel innovation right here in our city. Spanish interpretation will be provided, and this series will return every other month, so it’s a terrific opportunity to get inspired by local talent and maybe even spark your own creative ideas.
Nature lovers, young and old, will want to gear up for the upcoming City Nature Challenge. The global event kicks off later this week, but Santa Fe is already buzzing with anticipation. Audubon Southwest will host a public observation event at the Randall Davey Audubon Center, where you can join fellow residents in documenting the amazing biodiversity of our area using the iNaturalist app. Whether you’re a seasoned birder or just curious about local wildlife, it’s a fun and easy way to connect with nature and contribute to global science.
That’s all for today—remember to stay curious, get involved, and enjoy everything Santa Fe has to offer. This has been Santa Fe Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
