Los Alamos National Laboratory's Emergency Management division has recently begun a forest thinning project in Rendija Canyon. The initiative aims to protect the community from severe wildfires and improve the overall health of the forest. Known as the Rendija Canyon Wildland Fire Fuels Reduction and Defensible Space Project, it will establish a fuel break covering 135 acres next to Rendija Canyon Road.
