THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE CONSERVANCY DISTRICT IS REOPENING THE BOSQUE. THE URBAN FOREST WAS CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC IN MAY DUE TO THE HIGH FIRE DANGER…BUT DISTRICT SPOKESMAN TOM THORPE SAYS IT'LL OPEN UP AGAIN TUESDAY AT 8AM. THORPE SAYS RAINFALL IN THE BOSQUE HAS RANGED FROM HALF-AN-INCH TO AN INCH AND-A-HALF.
HE SAYS MAYOR BERRY STILL HAS TO GIVE HIS APPROVAL BEFORE THE RIO GRANDE STATE PARK WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS REOPENS…AND IT'S ANTICIPATED THAT WILL HAPPEN.
