Trump's Forest Service cuts have people in tinder dry New Mexico on edge

People in New Mexico are increasingly anxious about fire risks due to unusually dry conditions. Funding cuts and job eliminations at federal lands agencies have heightened these concerns, with property owners like Brian Leddy worried about response times for forest fires. Morale among Forest Service employees is low, with some critical wildfire prevention projects on hold. President Trump's directive to boost logging by 25% hasn't alleviated these worries, and local officials like AnJanette Brush are seeking assurance that the federal government will support them during this perilous time.
