Extending from the spillway below Cochiti Dam, about fifty miles
north of Albuquerque, to the headwaters of Elephant Butte
Reservoir, near Truth or Consequences in the southern portion of
New Mexico, the Middle Rio Grande Bosque is more than a cottonwood
woodland or forest. It is a complete riverside ecosystem, among the
more important in the world's arid regions.
Every day hundreds of visitors to the bosque encounter flora and
fauna they can't identify. Researchers and municipal, county,
state, and federal resource agency personnel concerned with the
bosque's management need to know how plants and animals are linked
to their habitats.
With descriptions of more than seven hundred plants and animals
illustrated with color photographs, this authoritative guide is the
first of its kind for the Middle Rio Grande Bosque and is an
invaluable resource for land managers, teachers, students,
eco-buffs, and nature enthusiasts. It also reveals the important
role the bosque plays in New Mexico's natural heritage.
