From the Commissioner
New Mexico’s children own 13 million acres statewide, and the State Land Office is charged with managing these lands so our children can attend schools of excellence.
More than 150 years ago Congress gave these lands “in trust” to support education. Today, revenues earned from energy production, agriculture and economic development on trust lands pay teachers, build buildings, and buy books.
