Help us raise $10,000 for our Bush Fire Burn Scar Replanting Program! We need your help raising funds to salvage saguaros & other native desert cacti from land development sites, purchase saguaros at amazing discounts from cacti nurseries, & replant them in the 2020 Bush Fire burn scar on the Tonto National Forest.
We have a lot of amazing opportunities right now to greatly increase our impact on the burn scar, but we can’t do it without your help! Any amount helps! Please consider donating $5 to help us reach our goal, thank you! Click the HERE below to donate on our website through Square, Zelle, Venmo, or PayPal. Thank you!
November 2020, we launched our Replanting Program. This program is part of our Dedicated Restoration Team Services for natural areas across the state. We also host replanting events for community members.
In 2020 and 2021, we planted over 20,000 trees in the 2017 Cactus Fire burn scar working on the Lower Salt River Restoration Project with Program Managers from the EcoCulture team at NAU.
In May 2021, we started replanting cacti, including saguaros, in the 2020 Bush Fire burn scar at Lower Sycamore on to Tonto National Forest. We continued working on small replanting projects throughout the summer, fall, and winter.
In 2022, we placed a heavy focus on replanting in the Bush Fire Burn Scar at Four Peaks & Lower Sycamore. Our team collected cacti from construction sites and private properties around the Phoenix Valley, transported them to our replanting sites, and planted them in the burn scar.
In 2023, our Dedicated Restoration Team continued replanting the Bush Fire burn scar at Four Peaks and Lower Sycamore. We also hosted a Lower Salt River Tree Planting Event with Ecoculture & the 4th annual Save Our Saguaros Replanting Event at Four Peaks.
We were honored at the 2023 U.S. Forest Service Chief’s Honor Awards Ceremony for our work on the Four Peaks Restoration Project, along with the U.S. Forest Service Tonto National Forest, National Forest Foundation and Arizona Wholesale Growers.
