New Mexico

The Trust for Public Land is working to protect the Double E Ranch in southwest New Mexico, an outdoor playground for hikers and rock climbers and unparalleled wildlife habitat for bighorn sheep, black bear, Coues white-tailed deer, and many migratory birds.

This 16,000-acre working cattle ranch in western New Mexico is home to more than just cattle.

In September 2015, The Trust for Public Land completed a five year effort to forever protect Miranda Canyon by adding it to the Carson National Forest, ensuring that all of the area's scenic, recreation, historic, wildlife habitat, and natural resources will be preserved and accessible.

Only fifteen miles southeast of Santa Fe, Thornton Ranch embodies the
quintessential Western landscape: lofty mesas, blue-grama grassland,
and rolling hills dotted with piñon, juniper, and sage. The ranch's most
striking feature: Petroglyph Hill.

The Trust for Public Land is working to preserve vital stretches of the Rio Grande to safeguard fragile watershed, protect drinking water supplies, and revitalize river habitat for public enjoyment.

Each year, tens of thousands of visitors come to this historic
Santuario, or chapel, in the village of Chimayo 40 miles north of Santa
Fe.

Working with the U.S. Forest Service, The Trust for Public helped protect 1,280-acres of the Tampico Springs Ranch in the Cibola National Forest.

In late 2010, TPL protected 60 acres in Tijeras Canyon, adding the last piece of unprotected land to a six-mile stretch of public open space along the Sandia foothills

For almost 30 years, local and national conservation groups have wanted
to protect 14,000 acres at Ute Mountain, an extinct volcano in northern
New Mexico.
