Upcoming Trail Closures During Fire Mitigation and Access Project
Last week, the Reader rode along with the Otero County Electric Cooperative Vegetation Management and Right-of-Way Supervisor Janscen Davis to check out the upcoming fire mitigation and access projects along the “69-Line” at Toboggan Canyon.
The work to remove fire fuels and trees that endanger the line that feeds power to the Cloudcroft substation is underway. During the project, expect trail closures in the canyon. Look to the Lincoln National Forest Service website for closures and updates.
We look forward to publishing a fuller report on the projects soon.
