This New Mexico Statewide Resources Assessment, Strategy and Response Plan intends to guide long-term Division management, but as importantly, to provide useful information to our many partners who work together to create and maintain sustainable forests and their many benefits.
The Forestry Division's central purpose is to promote healthy, sustainable forests in New Mexico for the benefit of current and future generations. This mission is accomplished by working with partners interested in improving the health of the state’s forests and watersheds. This document helps the Division meet two directives: the New Mexico Forest and Watershed Health Plan, completed in 2004, identifying the need for an all resources assessment and the Farm Bill (2008) requiring all State Foresters to complete a Statewide Forest Resource Assessment and Strategy and Response Plan.
