Once there was a forest: deep, old, and full of life, from it's tallest trees to its deepest roots.


 


What Global Warming?
This Summer The Forest Service Will to Begin to Strip 1,825 Acres Along Hyde Park Road of 95% of Their Trees!

The Hyde Park Wildland Urban Interface Thinning and Prescribed Fire Project will remove 95% of the trees in the forests above Santa Fe, from the foothills to the top of the mountains.

The Forest Service has refused to do an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for this project and there are many questions left unanswered.
 
The first stage of the project is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2007, and will cut and burn 95% of the trees along the south side of Hyde Park Road in the canyon between Hyde Park Estates and Black Canyon Campground. Click to See Map
