Project continues to reduce wildfire threat in high risk areas near Silver City, New Mexico
SILVER CITY, NM, Feb. 21, 2024 – The Gila National Forest, Silver City Ranger District plans to resume hand thinning in the Little Walnut area at the end of February, and is expected to continue for the next few months. Hand thinning will take place within portions of the 179-acre Unit 6 and the 41-acre Unit 4 that were unable to be treated with heavy equipment.
"We are in our second year of fuels reduction treatments in the Little Walnut area as part of the Bear Creek to Signal Peak Joint Chiefs' project and have made a significant difference in fuels conditions in that area," said Silver City District Ranger Elizabeth Toney. "These areas will need to be treated and re-treated on a recurring basis as understory vegetation naturally re-grows."
