Cool It Burque Events
We're excited to co-host our first oak propagation workshop! Come and learn all about NM oaks and how we can grow them. Thank you to Santa Ana Native Plants for leading this and Tree New Mexico for sponsoring it as part of their Tree Stewards program.
Participation is limited, so make sure to sign up at bit.ly/growoaks
Also, we could use help collecting acorns! They're sparse this year, so we appreciate any fresh acorns you want to bring to the workshop, donate to us (can pick up), or even tips on where to collect if you see them while out and about. If you collect, be sure to store them in a Ziploc bag so they don't dry out and go sterile! Please note the species or get pics, including close-ups of the leaves and an overall pic of the tree, if you are unsure.

Let’s grow mesquites! Mesquites are wonderful native, drought-tolerant, food-producing trees, and the time to propagate them is now!
Join us for a workshop all about mesquites, where we will walk you through the steps to grow them from seed. You’ll get to eat a mesquite pancake, learn to process mesquite pods, and take home your very own baby mesquite tree.
This is a low cost, low input, high impact way to support your community and local ecosystem! Don’t have a place to plant your tree? Ask your neighbors, or, the sapling can be used for a future Cool It Burque project once it’s grown a bit bigger under your care.
