State Forestry Division; Foundations (Mule Deer and Rocky Mountain
Elk), National Wild Turkey Federation, Quail Unlimited, F-D Cattle Co.
and Farr Cattle Company, will conduct a 38,000-acre prescribed burn on
Pelona Mountain. Approximately 10 miles of Continental Divide Trail
will be affected on Pelona Mountain. The burn is expected to last
between 6-10 days. The project is part of a statewide ecosystem
restoration and habitat enhancement initiative called Restore New
Mexico. Prescribed fire will be used in this project as the tool to
improve and restore large-scale landscapes.</span></div>
