The bosque is along the Rio Grande river that runs through the state's largest city and includes a <a href="http://www.frgnc.org/">nature center</a> and towering cottonwood trees that are over 100's of years old. Yesterday and tonight over 1000 acres are going up like a match. The Rio Grande bosque is a state treasure (with a <a href="http://southwest.fws.gov/refuges/newmex/bosque/index.html">national wild refuge</a> ). We now have <a href="http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/fire/swapredictive/swaintel/situation/swa_fire.htm">seven fires</a> in New Mexico. Albuquerque is losing a natural treasure tonight... very sad to hear this may be arson. tag:metafilter.com,2003:site.26634 Wed, 25 Jun 2003 22:46:11 -0800 Albuquerque Bosque brushfires fires forestfires NewMexico jabo
