I went to the Broad Canyon Ranch back in November to remove barbed wire fencing as part of the ongoing restoration of this now state owned property. Eventually this former ranch along a very scenic stretch of the Rio Grande known as Selden Canyon will become a New Mexico State Park. The ranch looks like it was used pretty hard over the years,so it will be awhile before it takes on anything resembling a natural state. Still this is a beginning. In February thousands of willows are scheduled to be planted and other projects are planned throughout the year.
