When submitting eBird observations at the Galisteo Basin Preserve , it is most helpful to start a new checklist for each hotspot within the preserve. Use this general hotspot when you have a checklist that includes multiple locations or if no other hotspot or personal location is appropriate for your sightings.

Over the past 18 years, Commonweal Conservancy has constructed the largest publicly-accessible, privately-owned trail network in the American Southwest. The Galisteo Basin Preserve (GBP) trails gracefully traverse the savannah grasslands, sandstone ridge lines and arroyos of an iconic landscape in northern New Mexico. With support from donors to the $350k Stewardship Campaign, 50 miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails will be available for public use.

The trails of the GBP are celebrated by residents and visitors as a place of refuge and inspiration. The broad extent and diversity of the GBP trails invite day-long excursions and short-form wandering. It’s a place for people and wildlife. A place for well-behaved dogs and respectful equestrians and cyclists.
