LOL!

Yes, lots of trees in the national forest around Cloudcroft in the south.IIRC it is called Lincoln National Forest.

An Indian reservation is also up there.
Which “Federal” lands do they really want to claim?

We did on the mountains next to us until a fire three years ago destroyed several tens of thousands of acres of them. Oh yeah, when attempts were made to control the undergrowth in order to prevent the disaster, the enviromental whackos and the feds stopped it. Now we get to look at bare rock for the next 50 years. Millions of trees, tall conifers, spruce, etc. gone because of stupidity.

Large, lush, and overgrown forests. My shack in the mountains when I was doing the mountain man thing was settled in a rather thick stand of pines.

A dear friend owns and runs a sawmill using NM timber. He sells his products internationally.

The stretch from Alamogordo to Las Cruces ain't all there is to NM.

Lots. Tall ones, short ones, pines, live oak...

Remember hearing about forest fires there? Sandia and Manzano mountains are tree-covered, lots of trees in the hills around Grant.
