Rebuilding After Blue 2 Fire | Albuquerque News

After torching nearly 8,000 acres in Ruidoso, the Blue 2 Fire is now being healed—one seedling at a time. The Forest Service just finished planting 40,000 young Ponderosa pines and Douglas-firs across 300 acres, part of a long-term mission to restore the land. This isn’t just planting trees; it’s strategic ecosystem rebuilding, showing how nature can rebound with human help. And the work isn’t done—next up: the South Fork Fire burn scar, with planting slated for 2028. Fires may burn, but renewal is already in motion.
