Private Ranch, Pecos River, New Mexico

The Pecos River in northern New Mexico has been altered primarily due to land management practices. Native grasses and cottonwoods have been replaced by less desirable willows and salt-cedars, banks have eroded to a point where they are unstable and continually fall into the river during high flows, and the river channel has widened to a point where shallow riffles outnumber runs and pools. As a result, abundance of trout in the river is low, growth rates are poor, and fishing opportunities are scarce.

ACI was contracted to create better fishing opportunities and restore the river channel, reintroduce cottonwoods and other native vegetation, and create an area for the property owner and his family to enjoy canoeing and kayaking on the river.
