New Mexico public land managers encourage responsible recreation
Everyone must care for NM outdoors
Headlight staff reports
SILVER CITY, N.M. – New Mexico’s mountains, trails, parks, and back roads were flooded with an unprecedented number of visitors last year. Unfortunately, the crowds also damaged natural resources in a variety of ways.
Garbage was left behind and stacked next to already overflowing dumpsters, campfires were left unattended and/or not extinguished properly, fragile areas were trampled, consideration for other visitors was not adhered to and users drove off established roads and cut across hiking trails causing erosion issues.
While New Mexico’s state and federal natural resources agencies encourage everyone to get outside, visitors venturing into the great outdoors must take responsibility and care for our precious natural resources.
New Mexico Assigned Nearly $19 Billion In Federal Aid So Far
- Associated Press
A new estimate shows that successive rounds of federal economic relief since the outset of the coronavirus pandemic will deliver an estimated $18.9 billion in money and services to New Mexico.
The Legislature s budget and accountability office published the estimate Monday. The analysis will be presented in greater detail Thursday to members of the legislative finance committee.
The federal aid to one of the poorest states in the nation dwarfs the annual general fund spending of $7.4 billion by the New Mexico state government.
The tally of nearly $19 billion includes direct payments to individuals and families, supplemental unemployment benefits, forgivable loans to businesses to support payroll, payments to healthcare providers, support channeled through the Federal Emergency Management Agency and more.
SILVER CITY – Campfire and smoking restrictions are now in place on the Gila National Forest in order to protect public health and reduce preventable human-caused fires.
Adam Mendonca, forest supervisor, stated “We have seen an increase in abandoned campfires and feel it’s critical to reduce the potential for any additional fire starts during this period of drought and high fire danger.” Fire restrictions are an important tool to help prevent or limit human-caused wildfires.
Fire restrictions for the Gila National Forest include allowing campfires only in designated developed campgrounds and picnic areas and must be in a Forest Service provided metal grill or metal fire pits. Fires in rock rings will not be allowed. The use of pressurized, petroleum-fueled stoves, lanterns or heating devices are acceptable, provided they meet the fire underwriter’s specifications for safety.
