About Us

CEHMM is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. We have created a wide range of cutting edge programs that work toward practical solutions to issues that affect both human health and the environment. These projects serve the community, the region, and the state through cooperative conservation, educational outreach, job creation, and research leading to resolution of important technical and environmental challenges.

CEHMM's Executive Director, Emily Wirth, was recently part of a panel with the Congressional Western Caucus!

Chairman Dan Newhouse (WA-04), Vice Chair Yvette Herrell (NM-02), and Reps. August Pfluger (TX-11) and Tracey Mann (KS-01) host a Congressional Western Caucus Species Week Forum to discuss the ongoing state and local species conservation efforts to protect and restore the habitat for the lesser prairie chicken in New Mexico, Texas, and Kansas.

Conservation programs reopen after prairie chicken de-listed

In August, a district court in Texas vacated the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (FWS) rule listing the Lesser Prairie-Chicken (LPC) under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), effectively removing federal protections for the LPC.

Restoring Habitat for the Lesser Prairie-Chicken

CEHMM is proud to share new research published in The Southwestern Naturalist highlighting our work on mesquite removal in southeastern New Mexico. Encroachment of honey mesquite reduces vital grassland habitat, but through herbicide treatments and removal of dead, standing mesquite, we’ve seen promising results.
