Bosque Cleanup Exposes Wildfire Risks | Santa Fe News
Description
This summer’s third annual Bosque cleanup in Albuquerque tackled wildfire risks head-on, removing 16 tons of trash and clearing 74 sites along the Rio Grande. Crews uncovered 31 active fire hazards and 34 drug-use encampments — a dangerous combo with dry brush and dense vegetation. Fire Chief Zach Lardy praised the multi-agency effort, including Bernalillo County Fire & Rescue, Parks & Rec, Animal Care, Behavioral Health, and city departments, all working together to protect the river corridor. While the cleanup is complete, the real challenge remains: ongoing collaboration is needed to tackle persistent fire threats and encampments as drought conditions linger.
