The Gila National Forest, Silver City Ranger District, requests that the public refrain from using the Little Walnut Picnic Area and the nearby non-motorized trails while PNM conducts tree, limb, and brush removal along the powerline corridor adjacent to and overhead within the recreation site. The powerline runs above the trailhead at the northern end of the picnic area, directly over the Little Walnut East Picnic Area, and over the access road leading to the picnic sites. This work, which began a few weeks ago, will continue on weekdays for the next several weeks.
