Socioeconomic Assessement for the Gila National Forest SOCIOECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF THE GILA NATIONAL FOREST Submitted to the United States Forest Service Region 3 Office July 2007 University of New Mexico Bureau of Business And Economic Research Acknowledgements A project of this scope can only be completed with the cooperation and collaboration of many individuals. The Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER) would like to thank the Region 3 Office of the USDA Forest Service (FS) for permitting BBER to take on this important project. We hope that the information and analysis provided in this report will contribute to the development of a forest plan that continues to benefit all residents of New Mexico. Specifically, we would like to thank Dr. Richard Periman, Contract Manager, for his patience, support and willingness to answer an immeasurable number of questions from our staff and for the guidance and additional financial support provided for preparing the final draft of this report. This work was supported by many people at the National Forest Service. Particular thanks go to Cecilia McNicoll, Gila National Forest Planner, Marsha Andre, Forest Supervisor, Gail Firebaugh-Smith, Forest Archeologist, Andrea Martinez, Public Information Officer, Ralph Pope, Range Specialist, Janice Stevenson, Quemado District Ranger, and Art Telles, Wildlife Biologist, for sharing their understanding and expertise and for giving us the benefit of their experiences in the Gila NF as well as pointing us towards key people and important documents. The staff and students at BBER helped in many ways. This document owes a great debt to the careful research and clear-thinking by those who did similar assessments for other forests, Billy Ulibarri, Jeff Mitchell and Jeremy Cook. Molly Bleecker and Billy Ullibari gave wonderful feedback and helpful comments on various chapters, as did Theresa Watson, who provided references and documentation and helpful assistance in editing the final document. Rick Zimmerman wrote Chapter 2 on the demographics. Nick Potter wrote Chapter 7, lending us his masterful IMPLAN modeling skills and providing a thoughtful analysis of the Gila assessment area economies Vicky Morris Duuer worked to anticipate my various needs, keeping me continually supplied with data tables and other materials. Michael McDaniel skillfully produced the maps. As always, the folks at the Data Bank, Kevin Kargacin, Karma Shore and Larry Compton, helped navigate the murky waters of secondary data sources. BBER administrative staff, Mike Byrnes, Betsy Eklund and Betty Lujan ensured our contracts were in place and managed, that new students and staff were hired, and that we had updated maps. The project had the benefit of many talented students, including Austin Duus, Sophia Hammet and Ricardo Leo. Finally, I would like to give special appreciation to Jeffrey Mitchell who took this project over for a second time, handling the day-to-day tasks of project management and making sure that the Forest Service data were available and compiled into figures and tables.

GILA NATIONAL FOREST The Gila National Forest occupies 3.3 million acres in southwestern New Mexico and is home to the Mexican spotted owl, Mexican gray wolf, Gila chub, southwestern willow flycatcher, loach minnow, and spikedace. The forest also encompasses the San Francisco, Gila, and Mimbres Rivers, and the scenic Burros Mountains. In the 1920s, conservation pioneer Aldo Leopold persuaded the Forest Service to set aside more than half a million acres of the Gila River’s headwaters as wilderness.

  • The Chino Mine/Santa Rita Open Pit Oct97 News Nuggets by Dave Moats
    The Chino Mine/Santa Rita Open Pit Oct97 News Nuggets By Dave Moats The Santa Rita del Cobre Mine was old when the gold rush began. Lt. Col. Jose Manuel Carrasco, it is said, ignored his orders to destroy the Apache and, instead, did a favor for one of the Indians who showed Carrasco a piece of native copper and told him where to find more. Around 1800, Carrasco and a party of 24 arrived in Santa Rita and opened the second oldest copper mine in the territory that later became the United Sates (only Lake Superior’s deposits were known earlier). Indians harvested the copper that "grew from the ground in fern-like pieces" and Mangas Coloradas or "Red Sleeves", chief of the Apache nation following the death of Apache chief Juan Jose, sent arrows tipped with copper flying into Gold Rush camps as his "calling cards" after friendly Indians were massacred in 1837 by a howitzer Americans had concealed in the brush. Eventually, the Indians cut off all supplies, starving remnants of the camp fled southward and Santa Rita remained a ghost town until 1860. Trappers seeking beaver along the Gila River learned about the mine. Kit Carson wrote of storing a load of furs in an old mine opening in Santa Rita. Sylvester Pattie decided to remain after making a deal with Ortiz, came close to buying the property, and left in disgust when a trusted employee absconded with $30,000 of his working capital. In 1872, Cochise, successor to Mangas Coloradas, agreed to move his tribesmen to selected reservations.

  • Lincoln National Forest
    Chapter 1: Introduction In Ecological and Biological Diversity of National Forests in Region 3 Bruce Vander Lee, Ruth Smith, and Joanna Bate The Nature Conservancy EXECUTIVE SUMMARY We summarized existing regional-scale biological and ecological assessment information from Arizona and New Mexico for use in the development of Forest Plans for the eleven National Forests in USDA Forest Service Region 3 (Region 3). Under the current Planning Rule, Forest Plans are to be strategic documents focusing on ecological, economic, and social sustainability. In addition, Region 3 has identified restoration of the functionality of fire-adapted systems as a central priority to address forest health issues. Assessments were selected for inclusion in this report based on (1) relevance to Forest Planning needs with emphasis on the need to address ecosystem diversity and ecological sustainability, (2) suitability to address restoration of Region 3’s major vegetation systems, and (3) suitability to address ecological conditions at regional scales. We identified five assessments that addressed the distribution and current condition of ecological and biological diversity within Region 3. We summarized each of these assessments to highlight important ecological resources that exist on National Forests in Arizona and New Mexico: • Extent and distribution of potential natural vegetation types in Arizona and New Mexico • Distribution and condition of low-elevation grasslands in Arizona • Distribution of stream reaches with native fish occurrences in Arizona • Species richness and conservation status attributes for all species on National Forests in Arizona and New Mexico • Identification of priority areas for biodiversity conservation from Ecoregional Assessments from Arizona and New Mexico Analyses of available assessments were completed across all management jurisdictions for Arizona and New Mexico, providing a regional context to illustrate the biological and ecological importance of National Forests in Region 3.
