🌲👷💚Are you passionate about the future of your local public lands?
The Gila, Lincoln, and Cibola National Forests are still seeking volunteers to serve a four-year term on the Southern New Mexico Resource Advisory Committee (RAC).
As a committee member, you will directly review project proposals and recommend where federal dollars are spent. We are building a balanced committee representing industry partners, local businesses, permittees, outdoor recreationists, environmental groups, and local educators. If you are a New Mexico resident who loves our forests and wants to make a difference, we want to hear from you!
The federal Secure Rural Schools program provides critical Title II funding for local projects that matter to all of us, such as trail construction, watershed and habitat restoration, hazardous fuels reduction, road maintenance, and range improvements.
Meetings happen quarterly, last about 2 hours, and offer a virtual attendance option to fit your schedule.
