Wilderness, the New Mexico Land Conservancy recently protected 1,260 acres along the San
Francisco River near Alma—a landscape surrounded by the Gila National Forest.
Conservation of the L Bar H Ranch contributes to an interconnected system of protected
lands known as the "Greater Gila Ecoregion"—a concept pioneered by visionary
conservationist Aldo Leopold during his time in New Mexico.

Nursing staff at Fort Bayard Hospital, circa 1950, is part of the Silver City Museum's newest exhibit, Healers and Heroines: Women and the Shaping of Local Health Care, Photo courtesy of the Fort Bayard Historic Preservation Society.
Silver City -- The Silver City Museum's latest exhibit, "Healers and Heroines: Women and the Shaping of Local Health Care," opens Saturday, December 14, in the museum's Dodge Gallery, and is scheduled to run through 2025.
The exhibit examines the questions, "What is health, what is health care, and how do we take care of each other?" The exhibit also explores the vital role that women have played throughout the history of health care in Grant County, and is largely based on the research of local historian Heather Moorland, PhD, and complemented by the research of Javier Marrufo, museum curator. For example, the exhibit includes the women's sewing circle that, in 1882, gave rise to the idea of a local hospital to "provide some sort of shelter, care, and treatment for the aged and sick prospectors and miners," a quote from local business woman and community leader, Elizabeth Warren.
