Lower Sycamore OHV Area - February 2019
The Natural Restorations 2019 OHV Area Restoration Project was designed to address the long-standing issues of trash and illegal dumping in OHV areas. We removed trash and graffiti from natural areas surrounding OHV areas, trails, routes, while leaving a minimal footprint. We completed 20 restoration projects with our Dedicated Restoration Team and 5 volunteer cleanup events in OHV areas. We worked on Arizona State Trust Land, the Tonto National Forest, the Coconino National Forest, the Apache Sitgreaves National Forest, and the Prescott National Forest.

Volunteer cleanup events provided close to home opportunities for youth, the OHV community, non-OHV community members, outdoor recreation groups, and State Parks employees. Our restorations immediately improved the appearance and usability of the OHV areas included in our project.
Our volunteer events are the perfect opportunity for the OHV community, youth, and other community members to come out, learn lifelong stewardship, and change the way we leave natural areas. Join us at an upcoming event, click HERE to view our Events Calendar.
