Topic: Building Resilience in the Jemez

At this month’s meeting, we’ll hear from Cecil Rich, the Fish and Aquatic Program Manager for the Santa Fe National Forest, about the Southwest Jemez Mountains Collaborative Landscape Restoration Project. This project is a long-term forest and watershed restoration strategy designed to increase the forest’s resilience to wildfire and other disturbances by using low-intensity fire to return fire to the landscape; protect cultural resources; create local economic development opportunities; and improve wildlife habitat, watershed and riparian conditions, vegetation diversity, and water quality with strategies like building beaver analog dams.
