NM Tamarisk/Watershed Plan
Riparian lands in New Mexico have been seriously impacted by the infestation of non-native phreatophytes. The two of most concern are tamarisk (a.k.a. saltcedar) and to a lesser extent Russian olive. The New Mexico Department of Agriculture provides the leadership, administrative oversight, and assistance for State funded non-native phreatophyte programs.
