Our Story

The Yerba Mansa Project is an Albuquerque, New Mexico-based 501(c)3 non-profit organization started in 2014 to reestablish the connectivity of people, plants, and the land in the Middle Rio Grande Valley. Specifically, our work supports the health of beloved native medicinal plant populations and reconnects New Mexicans with our local Bosque. We are a volunteer-based, community-supported project dedicated to providing free educational events and restoration activities focused on the native medicinal plants that stand at the center of New Mexico’s biological and cultural landscapes. Our volunteers work to restore some of our most legendary healing plants, teach youth and adults about their importance, and help to protect critical habitats and associated cultural knowledge for present and future generations.
