Bill > SB180

This bill establishes the New Mexico Reforestation Center, a joint partnership between the Forestry Division of the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department, the Department of Forestry at New Mexico Highlands University, the Agricultural Experiment Station at New Mexico State University, and the Department of Biology at the University of New Mexico. The center will address the impacts of climate change on the state's forests and meet the state's reforestation needs through various programs, including seed collection, nursery operations, and planting. The bill creates a board to oversee the center's strategic planning and fiscal decisions, and appropriates $4.6 million for the center's first-year operational expenses.
