Bio: My husband and I have been landowners in the Zuni Mountains since the 1970's, and also lived and worked in Grants for 9 years in the 1980's. We are committed to advocating for a healthy landscape in the property we own, and also for all of the Mt. Taylor Ranger District of the Cibola National Forest. I am an active member of the collaboratives associated with the Zuni Mt. CFLR and the Cibola NF plan revision process. I feel strongly that it is necessary to speak for a healthy landscape on the Cibola - for the plants and animals that should appear in that landscape.

Bio: The Rio Grande Valley Broadband of the Great Old Broads for Wilderness is interested in learning about landscape level forest restorations, and their effect on riparian habitats and wildlife. Our group sees a return to the forest conditions of 150 years ago as desirable in terms of healthy landscapes. We are willing to participate in monitoring of water quality in the Zuni Mountains, and in educating our members and others about what a fire resilient forest should look like.
