This will degrade the natural night skies in Southwest New Mexico
Approximately 7 million acres of private and public land are being targeted for expanded military training in the Gila National Forest, Gila & Aldo Leopold Wilderness Areas and surrounding communities. We need you!
Two of the three alternatives proposed in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) include multiple areas of new airspace over millions of acres of public and private land, stretching from the headwaters of the Gila River to the Rio Grande Valley. Learn more about the Holloman Draft Environmental Impact Statement and the complete DEIS here.
The public has 45 days to provide comments on the document. Public meetings on the DEIS are scheduled in eight communities, including in Silver City on December 4, Socorro on December 2, Truth or Consequences on December 3, and Las Cruces on December 5. More details are available here.
