Forging partnerships with Ute Creek Soil & Water Conservation District and the Natural Resource Conservation Service, Tuda and her family prioritized riparian restoration and water development. Over a 10-year period, 10 miles of the bone dry, salt cedar-infested Ute Creek was restored to water running year-round and serves as a regional model of salt cedar eradication.
