Sacramento Mountains Watershed Restoration

We recently received a grant to complete an erosion control project on private lands in the Sacramento Mountains.  Interested landowners should complete this sign-up form and return it to the SWCD office at 3501 Mesa Village Drive, Alamogordo, NM.  A site visit will then be scheduled.  Field personnel will determine the size and locations for the structures to be built and take photo points.  The landowner will then be provided the appropriate amount of materials based on the report from the site visit.
