Newly acquired Galisteo Basin parcels include ancient sites
4/11/2009 - 4/9/09
"The Santa Fe County Commission voted in March to pay $1.5 million for 468 acres in the Galisteo Basin, guaranteeing an archaeologically rich area with sweeping vistas will be preserved as open space.
Although the property was purchased with tax dollars, some planning will have to be done before the land is opened to the public.
The newly acquired land — and adjoining property also bought under the county's Open Space and Trails Program — contains archaeological sites that Congress has mandated be preserved and protected.
Santa Fe County is negotiating an agreement with the Bureau of Land Management that will guide the future uses of the land. The BLM has a $500,000 grant from the Legislature to develop a plan for protecting the area, which is expected to be finished within three years." More>>>>
