New Mexico's forests provide 50% to 75% of the water used by municipalities and agriculture statewide, but with the number of forest fires, drought and lack of proper forest management, the region's forests are at risk.
Fortunately, work by researchers from New Mexico State University and other universities, combined with state and national efforts, will help fill gaps in the reforestation pipeline. More information about these efforts will be presented during NMSU's John T. Harrington Forestry Research Center field day from 9 a.m. to noon Thursday, Sept. 12. The center is located at 3021 Highway 518 in Mora, New Mexico.
