During Heritage Preservation Month in May each year, many of the preservation organizations in Santa Fe play an active role in recognizing those who contribute to the field while others produce materials or events to celebrate our heritage, preservation and the tradition of earthen building in New Mexico.

​For 2025, OSFA is honored to participate in the Preservation Month Symposium — Preserving Place: The Santa Fe Symposium — a Preservation Month preview event that offers a day-long program for the community, our respective organizational membership, and the public relating to preservation, its relevance, and its challenges.
