PLEASE NOTE:
Starting in 2006 a large scale restoration project has begun on the
Las Cienegas National Conservation Area.
Mesquite is a bio-renewable resource that can be utilized from this project.
Your company or organization can benefit financially by selling mesquite products,
such as BBQ chips, firewood, furniture, artwork, landscaping, nursery trees, and more.
If you are interested in working with the BLM to remove biomass from fuels
reduction projects that protect communities from wildfires (firebreaks)
or for restoration, please call Dave Peters at 520.258.7207
