Advocacy

The Yerba Mansa Project

In 2014, Dara established the Yerba Mansa Project, a community-driven volunteer effort to unite our community on common ground, help restore native medicinal plants along the banks of the Rio Grande, and provide related educational programming.

The project has developed over the years into a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a small administrative and teaching staff, field volunteers, and a long-term vision for reinvigorating our biological and cultural legacy by providing a pathway for people to care for the land and plants that have long sustained us.
