About the El Paso Group

The El Paso Group of the Rio Grande Chapter includes approximately 450 members who are focussed on many civic, local and regional issues. Water and Climate Change are presently our highest priorities. We also continue to work on our newly created Castner Range National Monument as well as our outstanding state parks, Franklin Mountains State Park and Hueco Tanks State Park. We are teaming up with El Paso Audubon for monthly General Meetings at UT El Paso's Centennial Museum.
