Abstract
Collins Lake Ranch is a private ranch located in Mora County, northern New Mexico. It specializes in residential living and education for adults with disabilities. In 2022, part of the ranch was impacted by the Hermit’s Peak Calf Canyon (HPCC) wildfire. New Mexico Highlands University commonly uses this ranch as a research site for forestry management and have treated multiple areas on the ranch, saving it from more extreme burning from the HPCC fire. This study area has three study locations, totaling six plots. Due to active thinning on this ranch, we moved our dense location for the 2024-2025 snow season, however, we tried to maintain as similar a forest structure and elevation as possible. Collins Lake Ranch represents lower elevation mid latitude locations that receive substantial snowfall, however, the snowpack is not seasonally persistent and is therefore classified as ephemeral. There were three shielded temperature loggers placed on the ranch to obtain hourly air temperatures. There was one logger placed at approximately 5ft off the ground on the northern side of a tree at each study location (dense forest, thinned forest, and high severity burn scar).

Takes temperature reading hourly.
