The Forest advises all Forest visitors to be safe in the woods as there are some small and big game hunts going on within the Santa Fe National Forest during this time of year.

People in the forest are encouraged to wear blaze orange or bright colors to increase their visibility and always be aware of their surroundings.

In addition, fire danger on the Forest is currently high to very high so please remember to be fire safe.
