LAS CRUCES — A young Loblolly pine tree stands nearly three feet high in a garden, ordinary in every respect except for a remarkable origin story: The seed from which this tree sprouted has flown around the moon.

LAS CRUCES — Proponents of a new state park in Radium Springs, north of the city, expressed disappointment Friday after Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham vetoed a bill that would have established Slot Canyon Riverlands State Park. “Our state parks are already woefully understaffed and undermaintained. The lack of park rangers in our existing parks is already a matter of great concern,” the governor wrote in a veto message.
