NM Tree Farm Fall 2026 Event
September 10, 2026
Mark your calendars for Thursday, September 10, as the New Mexico Tree Farm Program and the Southwest Section of the Society of American Foresters host a fall event aboard the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad.
Following last year’s joint event, which included a boat tour on Elephant Butte Lake, this year’s gathering will feature another memorable way to experience New Mexico’s landscapes. Members and friends of both organizations are invited to join a one-way scenic train ride, with a bus returning participants after the trip.
Thanks to a generous sponsorship from Forest Fitness, a local forestry company, the cost of the event will be significantly reduced to $50 per person. The event will include lunch, reserved train car space for the group, and forestry-focused talks along the route. Forestry experts will also be available for informal conversations during the ride.
Space will be limited, as each train car holds 38 people, so early sign-ups are important.
RSVP today to save your spot!
