Once the immediate crisis of a wildfire has passed, landowners and communities can be left wondering: What\u2019s next? How will the landscape recover?<\/p>\n
Our Post-Fire Reforestation Guide<\/strong> is designed to help you understand and plan reforestation projects using strategies informed by the state\u2019s leading experts. With the right tools and strategies, New Mexico landowners will be better equipped to help recover forests, reduce future risks and build resilient landscapes.<\/p>\n Click on the images below to access a free pdf of the Guide:<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.emnrd.nm.gov\/sfd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/reforestation-guide.png” title_text=”reforestation guide” url=”https:\/\/www.emnrd.nm.gov\/sfd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Upland-Reforestation-Guide_WEB.pdf” url_new_window=”on” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.emnrd.nm.gov\/sfd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/reforestation-TOC.png” title_text=”reforestation TOC” url=”https:\/\/www.emnrd.nm.gov\/sfd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Upland-Reforestation-Guide_WEB.pdf” url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”384.9px” custom_margin=”||-35px|||” custom_padding=”4px||1em||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Experts estimate that that New Mexico needs 5 million seedlings annually to begin to begin addressing our significant reforestation backlog. Currently, our state-wide nursery capacity is just 300,000 seedlings per year, creating a significant seedling shortage. As a result, we must prioritize delivering limited seedling supply to the places where they will have the greatest impact. This is especially important as we work to support landowners recovering from wildfire who are seeking the technical support and tools to successfully support forest recovery.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=” The trees sold through this program are grown with care at the John T.
