- Los Lunas (NM) Plant Materials Center
- Many Southwestern riparian sites require revegetation following the removal of invasive woody species such as saltcedar and Russian olive. To establish riparian vegetation with minimal or no follow-up irrigation, to improve survival and growth rates, and to reduce long-term revegetation costs, the Los Lunas Plant Materials Center (LLPMC) has focused its efforts on developing new, deep planting techniques for use in riparian restoration in the Southwest.
- Western Water Threatened by Wildfire: It's not a Public Lands Use
- All family-owned forests provide Americans with significant benefits, from the bare essentials like clean water, a home for wildlife and carbon storage, to everyday needs like wood for houses, furniture and paper, and good paying rural jobs. All forests also face similar threats: development pressures, catastrophic wildfires, invasive insects, disease and more. But because our forests across the U.S. are so diverse, these top threats vary, as do the forests benefits we depend on the most.

- Reconnecting the Pecos River
- During the early part of the 20th century, the Pecos River had been channelized to create ponds that would attract waterfowl. Barricaded behind a wall of invasive salt cedar, the Pecos had also become disconnected from the plains through which it flows.
