Have you ever wondered what the Middle Rio Grande valley was like 500 years ago?  How has it changed in the last 50 or 100 years?  Can you identify the birds and wildlife as you paddle down the river?  Who owns the water, where did it come from and where exactly does it go when it leaves Albuquerque? 

Tish Morris, co-editor of the 699pg Bosque Education Guide will provide a brief glimpse into the vast history and ecosystems that make up the Middle Rio Grande.  Topics include, the geology of the valley, surface and groundwater, the demands on the river's water budget, natural history information and human influence, to name a few.

This is without a doubt the best outdoor class I have ever taken. Kelly and his team are totally skilled as teachers. I plan to sign up for every class I can with this team. My enjoyment and skill level immediately improved after one day. I didn't realize I was using body memory from paddling a canoe many years ago that were not good practice with a kayak. Take these classes! They're a great return on investment and a whole lot of fun besides!--Kate O'Neill, 54yo teacher

Kelly is a very good teacher - he presents learning as fun.  His classes are relaxed and low pressure.  I picked up many skills and knowledge that will make paddling easier and safer for me in the long run.
