Juniper removal and prescribed fire help restore and maintain meadow habitat
RESERVE, NM, June 27, 2024 The Gila National Forest, Reserve Ranger District is preparing to burn slash piles on 418 acres at Rainy Mesa beginning around July 8, with the exact timing to be determined by weather and fuels conditions and resource availability. The Rainy Mesa Prescribed Fire project is located about 14 miles southeast of the Village of Reserve, New Mexico, off of Forest Road 141.
"We previously conducted a range improvement project in partnership with the Natural Resources Conservation Service, plucking 418 acres of encroaching trees. That project resulted in about 1,000 slash piles," said Acting Reserve District Ranger Bret Ruff. "Burning the slash piles will remove fuel from the landscape and allow the ingrowth of grasses and other forage for livestock and wildlife, which was the purpose of the range improvement project."

Visitors reminded to keep their distance and pack out trash
SILVER CITY, NM, June 26, 2024 We have a human problem at the Gomez Peak and Little Walnut picnic areas, and bears will pay the price. Black bears have been hanging around recently at the Little Walnut and Gomez Peak picnic areas off of Little Walnut Road at the north end of Silver City, attracted by the uncontained trash left behind by forest visitors.
"I can understand the desire to get a photo of a bear in the woods, but visitors have been approaching bears a bit too closely for their personal safety," said Silver City District Ranger Elizabeth Toney. "Bears will defend themselves if a person gets too close, so don't risk your safety and theirs in your quest to get a picture."

On Tuesday July 2, 2024, Marion and Jamie Newton will discuss The El Salvador Project and what it means to poor rural families, during the Rotary Club of Silver City meeting at 12 noon, at the Sunset Room, second floor of the WNMU Student Building.
Since 1990, under the care of the Palo Alto Friends Meeting (Quakers) in California, the El Salvador Project has assisted students from poor rural families to complete programs of higher education in teaching, medicine, nursing, physical therapy, law, business administration, agricultural engineering, and other disciplines, according to a news release. Graduates lift their families from poverty, as they enhance the quality of life in their communities and inspire others to pursue their dreams. Meaningful careers with adequate income give these young Salvadorans alternatives to migration toward the United States driven by desperation.
