New Mexico Reforestation Workshop - Sapello, NM

Reforestation is more important than ever in the Southwest. New Mexico’s hot, dry climate means that planting new trees takes a little care and a little expertise. At this outdoor workshop, May 18, 2024, forestry professionals discuss what to plant, how to plant and where to plant it. Other topics include how to work with contractors, how to prep planting sites, and how to order your own seedlings through the NM Forestry Division's Conservation Seedling Program.
