Drought, fire and population growth are just some of the factors affecting the Upper Hondo watershed. In order to address the challenges Lincoln County faces, ENMU-Ruidoso Community Education is focusing on watersheds for its annual Forest Health conference. "A Watershed Moment: Stakeholders and Stewardship of Lincoln County Water Basins" will be held Friday, March 13 at the Ruidoso Convention Center. Several speakers will give presentations on a wide range of topics concerning watersheds beginning at 9:00 am and lasting through 4:30 pm. The talks will be free and open to the public.

The Little Bear fire coalesced several groups into working together and towards substantive change. The college's Forest Health series has allowed several local experts to offer myriad perspectives to treatments and plans as well as problems that still need to be addressed. The conference will build on those relationships and public outreach efforts. Sessions will attempt to explain what makes up a watershed, including the definition of aquifer, the dynamics of recharge, ground versus surface water, the health of the Rio Ruidoso, Rio Bonito, Rio Hondo as well as smaller tributaries such as Eagle and Salado Creeks and water restoration projects that are taking place. The conference will also delve into rangeland management. Sid Goodloe is scheduled to speak, and a tour of his ranch is being arranged.
