TAOS, N.M. (KRQE) – The Carson National Forest has re-purposed the historic Tres Piedras home of wildlife conservationist Aldo Leopold. And starting as early as May, you can spend the night in this historic building that overlooks New Mexico's Landscapes. "People can experience maybe what it was like back in the early days of the forest service," said Angie Krall, District Ranger, Carson National Forest. Dating back to the 1910s, American environmentalist and writer Aldo Leopold took over as the forest supervisor of the Carson National Forest. "Not everybody might know about Aldo Leopold, but we do think of him as the grandfather of conservation biology, wildlife conservation, especially in New Mexico," continued Ranger Krall. Bookings to stay at Aldo Leopold house start in Carson National Forest Leopold received $650 to build his supervisor's quarters on the land for him and his wife. It's where he came up with some of his best ideas, according to Krall. "His conservation ideas were really born in New Mexico in the Gila Wilderness," Krall says. For many years, this architectural gem was dormant, but in 2006, efforts began to restore the home, from upgrading amenities to installing modern plumbing, in the hopes of creating a space for the public to take in the sheer beauty of the great outdoors. "I mean, the view from this porch is insane. Just looking out over the Sangre de Cristos and the moonrise and the sunrise, I mean, you can't beat it," exclaimed Krall.

For just $175 a night, up to eight people can stay. "So, the money that comes in from renting the house will help keep this beautiful old girl up, but also it's going to help us take care of other historic cabins on the Carson National Forest and get them online," said Krall. The Aldo Leopold House will be the first-ever cabin rental on national forest land in the state of New Mexico. District Ranger Krall says they hope to use the rental funds to make the cabinADA accessible in the near future.
