6th annual lower sycamore Cleanup
We hosted our annual 6th Fall Lower Sycamore Cleanup with Keep Our Desert Clean on Saturday, October 21, 2023. With the help of 88 volunteers, including 9 youth volunteers, helpers from the Tonto Forest Service, and 5 from our Dedicated Restoration Team, we removed 5.26 tons of trash! That’s 10,520 pounds of trash no longer littering this OHV area! Volunteers also removed 4 tires. Thank you to everyone who helped make a significant impact on this OHV area!
This project was financed in part by a grant from the Arizona Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Recreation Fund administered by Arizona State Parks & Trails. We are grateful for their support of Arizona’s Off-Highway Vehicles and their commitment to responsible recreation.
Thank you to everyone at U.S. Forest Service Tonto National Forest - Mesa Ranger District for their help and support of this event! Thank you to Paula & Karla from the Chandler REI-Co-op for bringing an amazing breakfast spread for volunteers with donuts, bagels, fruit, granola, coffee, Gatorade & more! Thank you to JJ and everyone at Stellar Adventures for donating the delivery & use of their restrooms! Thank you to Ashley from TNA Wieners for bringing gourmet hotdogs out to the desert for a Volunteer Appreciation lunch.
