New State Office To Coordinate Projects

New Mexico will have a new focus on long-term ecological restoration of overgrown forests and watersheds under a state plan signed Wednesday by Gov. Bill Richardson.

Richardson made the New Mexico Forest and Watershed Health Plan official after welcoming about 300 people to Ruidoso for a national summit on forest health.

"This comprehensive plan lays the foundation for more efficient cooperation among local, state, federal and tribal governments, landowners and communities," he said. "The plan also outlines a new leadership role for the state that will establish an integrated ecological restoration strategy."

The plan -- developed by a task force of government leaders, land and business owners and environmental groups -- calls for a new state office to coordinate and help develop and implement restoration projects.

Bringing together land managers and other stakeholders will help maximize resources available for projects, said state Forester Arthur "Butch" Blazer.
