Cone Collector and Observations App
Reforestation in New Mexico starts with seed collection.
With this new app from the New Mexico Reforestation Center and American Forests, citizen scientists and landowners can create their own cone observations to support reforestation efforts in their area.

Conservation Seedling Program
If you are a property owner here in New Mexico, you can buy trees for a reduced rate through our conservation seedling program.
The trees sold through this program are grown with care at the John T. Harrington Forest Research Center.
Please visit the Conservation Seedling Program website for more information.
Post-Fire Reforestation
After a wildfire, many New Mexico landowners are left wondering what recovery looks like and where to begin. Restoring a forested landscape takes time, but with the right information and support, it is possible to guide the land back toward health and resilience. Post‑Fire Reforestation: A Guide for New Mexico Landowners offers clear, science‑based steps to help landowners plan and carry out successful reforestation after wildfire.
This guide connects landowners with practical strategies, helpful resources, and organizations that can assist throughout the recovery process.
