The Forestry Division and partners use many types of treatments to protect New Mexico’s forests from catastrophic wildfire and bark beetle infestation. These treatments include thinning, mastication, prescribed burn and many others.
Wildfires pose a risk to our environment, human health and biodiversity. Following catastrophic wildfires flooding causes sediment to flow into our rivers and streams; polluting our drinking water and damaging riparian ecosystems. The smoke from wildfires can negatively affect the respiratory system; so using personal protective equipment may be necessary when traveling outdoors during a wildfire.
