Meet Art Anaya - #TeamNM GameandFish
New Mexico has over 183,000 deeded acres of State Game Commission (SGC) properties that are managed by the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish for the benefit of fish, wildlife and their habitats. New Mexico’s SGC Lands also provide public access for hunting, fishing and wildlife-associated recreation. The Department has a team of talented individuals charged with managing these properties. In this month’s #TeamNMGameandFish, we are meeting one of them: Art Anaya.
