Lost River Preserve
 In
an effort to protect and highlight the importance of riparian
ecosystems in New Mexico, Forest Guardians has recently acquired
the lease rights to two New Mexico State Land parcels totaling
1,120 acres of vital riparian habitat in southern New Mexico.
Forest Guardians will be working to restore the Lost River
parcel. The other parcel contains a portion of the
La Luz Creek.
The Preserve
The Lost River preserve contains over a mile of the Lost River,
important habitat for the threatened White Sands pupfish, and is
infested with salt cedar. Forest Guardians began leasing the
Lost River parcel in 2006 and will clear invasive salt cedar so
native trees will thrive here once again.
For specific questions about our conservation efforts,

River Restoration Director.
