The River Reach Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection, promotion, and enhancement of Farmington's Riverine corridors. Riverine Art Project - Four art pieces depicting the interaction of earth, air, fire and water along the Animas River are being partially funded by the River Reach Foundation. The sculptures include one entitled "Calendar," by Durango artist Shan Wells, and "Wind Forest," a wind-reactive mobile, which was installed at River Reach Terrace in Berg Park in 1999. The cost for "Calendar" is $14,000, donated by the River Reach Foundation, Citizens Bank of Farmington, the Northwest New Mexico Arts Council and an anonymous patron. The project complements the city's Riverine Corridor Development Plan to restore the Animas River and adjacent land to a more natural state by commissioning artworks that call attention to the forces of nature at work and add a spiritual dimension to the healing process. The All Veterans Memorial Park, is located along the banks of the Animas River. It recognizes the contributions of all American veterans - past, present, and future. From the Revolutionary War until the present, this park pays tribute to men and women who served to preserve the freedoms of our Nation. The intent of this memorial park is not only to Honor our veterans, but also to Educate those visiting the memorial. The park is located at Cobble Center on the river walk bordering the Animas River at the end of Tucker Avenue.
