11 employees from the Bureau of Land Management’s Las Cruces District joined partners to remove the fencing, which will allow local wildlife to move freely in their habitat without risk of restriction or harm. See the video of the efforts made to tackle the toughest portion of the miles of fencing (below).
In a collaboration with the Las Cruces Bureau of Land Management and the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish, 11 Backcountry Hunters & Anglers members with 11 BLM staff and 3 NMDGF staff removed 1.5 miles of sheep fencing off the top of Rimrock mountain. Their combined efforts helped improve wildlife connectivity in the Bootheel region of southern NM. Local wildlife can now freely move through the Pyramid mountains.
