Atlantis Fritillaries on Thistle - Photo by Elroy LimmerFor its first evening program of the year, on Friday, January 16, 2026, at 7:00 pm, the Gila Native Plant Society has invited Diane Larson, retired Research Wildlife Biologist, to present a talk exploring "Who's a Pollinator? It Depends…"   

The plight of bees and how that affects pollination of both crops and native plants have rightly received much attention. But bees are not the only insect pollinators. Sometimes, they are not even the best pollinator for a particular plant species.  Diane will delve into different insect taxa that carry – or don't carry – pollen, showing that a diverse fauna is needed for robust pollination services.

MOGOLLON – The New Mexico Department of Transportation will close NM 159 (Bursum Road) for the winter season beginning today January 12, 2026.

The lower gate will be closed at milepost 12.3, just past Mogollon, and the upper gate will be closed at milepost 22.6 near Willow Creek Campground. Seasonal closure is necessary due to winter weather conditions that make the roadway impassable.

Motorists traveling to Willow Creek, Snow Lake and the Gila National Forest should use U.S. 180 to NM 12 (Reserve) to NM 435 (Reserve–Beaverhead Road) as an alternate route.
