She is a longtime volunteer for peace, justice, human rights and the environment.
Reserve, NM, Sept. 12, 2025—The South Fork Negrito Creek bridge replacement project is approaching the final stages of construction on the Gila National Forest, Reserve Ranger District. The contractor expects delivery of the major prefabricated steel bridge components from September 17 – 22, which is likely to affect travelers on Forest Road 141 between Reserve, New Mexico, and the project site, 27 miles to the southeast. Trucks hauling large, bulky, heavy materials will be slow-moving and have the potential to temporarily impede the normal flow of traffic.
