State forestry officials in New Mexico reported that forest thinning operations are producing more small-diameter trees than the market can absorb. According to officials, 13 trees are being abandoned for every one removed during these efforts. To address this, officials presented a state-backed 'value chain' proposal to lawmakers in Taos.
