New Mexico’s Forest Resource

Abstract

This report is concerned primarily with timber. It presents figures regarding significant factors bearing on the present economics of this resource. Another purpose of the report is to describe some of the most important considerations that bear on greater development of the timber resource in the future. Other forest values -- water, recreation, and forage -- are discussed briefly. Trends in use of these resources must be considered in relation to timber, because practically no forest lands are managed for timber alone.
