In Deming News:
Elected leaders, business owners, economic development advocates, youth leaders, conservationists and students have come together in a collaborative effort to call for national monument protections for lands overseen by the Bureau of Land Management in Luna County. A proposal has been created and shared that would conserve Indigenous cultural and historical resources while boosting the recreation economy through the creation of Mimbres Peaks National Monument near Deming. Approximately 245,000 acres in the Mimbres Peak have been identified for permanent protection which are homes to documented cultural and historic sites, are important to modern day tribes and pueblos and provide critical water resources. For more information on the proposal, visit website.
