Hello Trail Friends,
I went ahead and RSVP'd for AZXC, and whoever and whenever you guys show up or post, check here for details. We will have an area to scout and clean since we have access via 4wd/2wd that other volunteers may not.
Stay tuned...
Rob
=========================
We're announcing our first volunteer event for our OHV Area Restoration Project through the Off-Highway Vehicle Fund administered by the Arizona State Parks Board.
Join us Saturday, March 11th, 2017, for a Butcher Jones Cleanup. Help us spread the word and make this a HUGE event! Please share it with your friends and anyone who uses ATVs, UTVs, side-by-sides, ROVs, sand rails, dirt bikes, trail bikes, 4-wheel drive vehicles, rock crawlers, dune buggies, and any other motorized vehicles. This is a great event for the entire family! Volunteers under 18 years old are welcome when accompanied and supervised by an adult.
This event is a way for various outdoor recreation groups to come together for a common cause, removing trash from natural areas we all recreate in. Butcher Jones Recreation Area is a popular destination that's close to the valley and offers something for everyone.
If you're a member of an OHV/4X4 Club or Outdoor Recreation Group and would like to head up a cleanup site, please contact us at contact@naturalrestorations.org.
Sign-in: 7AM-7:45AM
Safety Briefing: 7:45
Cleanup Starts: 8AM
Butcher Jones Recreation Site is a popular destination that's close to the valley and offers something for everyone. Not only is this an event for the OHV (Off-Highway Vehicle) Community, we also have opportunities for volunteers on foot and in the water. If you own a kayak or non-motorized watercraft, we have an opportunity for you to remove trash blown from Butcher Jones Recreation Area into Saguaro Lake. Let's remove it before it floats down to the Salt River. No kayak or non-motorized watercraft? No problem, we have plenty of opportunities for volunteers on foot to collect trash around the beach and parking lot.
*You do not need an OHV or 4x4 to participate, you can access the parking lot by car. Parking is limited, please carpool! Anyone with an 4x4 or OHV, please park past the cattle guard in the wash so we can free up the parking lot for cars and non OHV's.
