Ruidoso Prepares for Spring: River Cleanup, Tourism Boost, and Wildfire Safety
Ruidoso is gearing up for a busy spring with major community initiatives aimed at enhancing safety, supporting local businesses, and preparing for wildfire season.
Rio Ruidoso Cleanup Begins
The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will start de-silting the Rio Ruidoso to improve water quality and prevent flooding. Property owners along the river will be contacted for Right of Entry agreements to facilitate this essential project.
Debris Removal Assistance
Free debris removal services are available for residents impacted by recent fires and flooding. Those in need are encouraged to enroll and spread the word to neighbors.
Spring Break Visitors to Boost Local Economy
Ruidoso is ready to welcome Spring Break visitors, bringing a surge in economic activity for local businesses. Mayor Lynn Crawford urges residents to extend a warm welcome, as positive experiences lead to repeat tourism and community growth.
Wildfire Season Safety Tips
With wildfire season approaching, homeowners are advised to create defensible space around their properties by clearing vegetation and preparing evacuation plans. The Ruidoso Forestry Department offers home safety surveys to help residents stay protected.
