Wilderness Area in New Mexico in Eighteen Years www.nmwild.org OJITO he story of Ojito is a long and circu- T itous one. Today the area is on the brink of becoming the first newly desig- nated wilderness area in New Mexico in eighteen years. The legislation that will accomplish this feat results from bipar- tisanship cooperation, locally-endorsed conservation, the efforts of numerous environmental organizations, and native groups like the Pueblo of Zia who value the Ojito area’s wildlife, rangelands, and religious sites. If this bill succeeds, it will be the result of years of effort, scores of dedicated advocates, and the kind of local organizing that put all of the stake- holders at the table from the beginning. From Wildlands to WILDERNESS The Ojito Wilderness Act was recently passed by the Senate and is waiting to be scheduled for a vote in the House of Representatives. From there it will move on to the President’s desk for his signa- ture. If all goes well, the Ojito Wilderness Act could be law as early as October of this year. But how did we get here? The effort to protect Ojito emphasizes the importance of collaborative teamwork to unite very different people for a common and posi- tive goal. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Pat Lyons: looked for potential wilderness areas a closer look at New Mexico’s among their land holdings in the state of New Mexico.

But we are perhaps weeks away from making Ojito into New Mexico’s newest wilderness area. This beautiful spot (about an hour northwest of Albuquerque,) will soon become part of the great wilderness tradition, born in New Mexico, that has been a symbol of the importance of land and wildlife to our spirit and sanity. Despite the tough political climate for envi- ronmental issues, this bill was produced in a strong bi-partisan manner and will hopefully open the door to more wilderness in the coming years!

Descendants of pioneers and ranchers acquainted with Cassidy tell stories about the man their ancestors knew as “Jim Lowe.” Nancy Thomas grew up hearing from her grandfather Clarence Tipton and others that Cassidy was a “man of his word.” Tipton was the foreman at the WS immediately before Cassidy’s arrival. The ranch sits at the southern end of the Outlaw Trail, a string of accommodating ranches and Wild Bunch hideouts stretching from Montana and the Canadian border into Mexico. The country surrounding the WS Ranch is forbidding; volcanic terrain cleft with precipitously angled, crenelated canyon walls defies access. A “pretty hard layout,” local old-timer Robert Bell told Lou Blachly, whose collection of interviews with pioneers — conducted PROMIENT PLACES - between 1942 and 1953 — are housed at the University of New OUTLAW TRAIL Mexico.
