Silver City West Hazardous Fuels Reduction Project to reduce fuels in wildland urban interface
SILVER CITY, NM, July 20, 2023 – The Gila National Forest is seeking public comment on a proposal to conduct vegetation treatments on 31,850 acres of national forest system lands within the Silver City Ranger District. The proposal includes mechanical thinning, hand thinning, herbicide application, and prescribed fire in order to reduce fuels adjacent to the Wildland Urban Interface and reduce catastrophic wildfire risk to communities. A 30-day comment period begins Friday, July 21.
"These treatments would break up the horizontal and vertical continuity of fuels, giving firefighters time and space to take fire suppression actions when wildfires occur," said Silver City District Ranger Elizabeth Toney. "The treatments would also reduce fuel loadings along major ingress and egress corridors and increase resilience to wildfire across portions of the Southern Gila priority landscape."
