Silver City -- More than 13 million Americans have reported near death experiences, a phenomenon defined as a "lucid experience associated with perceived consciousness apart from the body occurring at the time of actual or threatened, imminent death," according to the Near Death Research Foundation, which has documented more than 5,300 near death experiences from all over the world.

Near death experiences, or NDEs, will be the topic of discussion at the next meeting of the monthly "Life Cafe" on Thursday, March 28, at 4:00 pm at the Silver City Public Library. A brief video about the topic will be shown, and participants will have an opportunity to share their own near-death experience.

The Silver City Public Library is pleased to announce that on Friday, April 5th at 3:00 PM author A. Thomas Cole will read from his book Restoring the Pitchfork Ranch. In the book, Cole weaves the history of the ranch with current restoration projects while offering an inspiring rallying cry for everyone who wants to take action for the environment.

Tucked away in the rolling hills south of Silver City is the historic Pitchfork Ranch. Archaeological sites on the ranch suggest people have been living in the area for the last 11,000 years thanks to the fresh water of the ciénagas-- desert wetlands. In more recent times the area has been used for a way station for the Butterfield Trail and, most notably, for cattle ranching. The region has a fragile desert grassland ecosystem and is a critical wildlife corridor. Use by humans and a changing climate have taken their toll on the land, but a herculean labor of love is trying to fix that.
