Rio Bosque Wetlands Park
|
Rio Bosque Wetlands Park is a 372-acre City of El Paso park the University of Texas at El Paso manages through its Center for Environmental Resource Management. Wetlands and riverside forests once graced the banks of the Rio Grande in the Paso del Norte region. They were the most productive natural habitats in the region, but today they are virtually gone. At Rio Bosque, the environment is still changing, but in a new way. Here, a diverse partnership is working to bring back meaningful examples of the unique and valuable ecosystems once found in our river valley. After being closed for almost 2 months as part of efforts to address the COVID-19 pandemic, the park is again open. If you visit, keep your group size small, stay at least 6 feet apart from one another, and wear a mask. |
