State Land Office Public Meeting Notice
Input Sought on Rio Grande Bosque Ecological Restoration Project Plan
SANTA FE, NM – The New Mexico State Land Office Surface Resources Division will hold a public meeting seeking input on a planned ecological restoration project on state trust land along the Rio Grande Bosque. This project is a continuation of Land Office remediation efforts aimed at replenishing over 200 acres of land along the Bosque.
The project objectives are to:
- Restore desired conditions in riparian forests and floodplains within the project area
- Remove non-native tree species within the project area and plant native willow and cottonwood
- Increase resiliency of forest and watershed to fire disturbance, disease, drought, pathogens, insects and other climate change related impacts
- Protect wildland-urban interface from fire risks
- Conduct monitoring to determine treatment effectiveness and adapt management accordingly for future treatments
Anyone interested in attending the meeting is encouraged to review the project plans in advance.
