Natural Restorations 2024/2025 OHV Areas Restoration Project
We are excited to share the results of our 2024/2025 grant from the Arizona Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation (OHV) Fund administered by Arizona State Parks & Trails.
214,200 pounds of trash (107.10 tons), 628 sq ft of graffiti, & 896 Tires Removed from Off Highway Vehicle areas across arizona!
The Natural Restorations 2024/2025 OHV Area Restoration Project was designed to address the long-standing issues of trash & illegal dumping in OHV areas. We removed trash & graffiti from natural areas surrounding OHV areas, trails, & routes while leaving a minimal footprint.
We completed 24 restoration projects with our Dedicated Restoration Team & hosted 4 volunteer cleanup events in OHV areas.
*This does not include OHV area restoration projects we completed in 2024/2025 with funding outside of the OHV-fund grant.
We worked on the Tonto National Forest, Coconino National Forest, Apache Sitgreaves National Forest, & Arizona State Trust Land. Thank you to everyone at these land management agencies for supporting these projects!
11/01/25 Four Peaks OHV Area Volunteer Cleanup
Volunteer cleanup events provided close to home opportunities for youth, the OHV community, non-OHV community members, outdoor recreation groups, State Parks & U.S. Forest Service employees. Our restorations immediately improved the appearance & usability of the OHV areas included in our project.
Our volunteer events are the perfect opportunity for the OHV community, youth, & other community members to learn lifelong stewards of public lands. Join us at an upcoming event, click HERE to view our Events Calendar.

Due to the government shutdown in October 2025, we did not host our 8th annual Lower Sycamore Fall Cleanup because a target shooting closure is required to keep volunteers safe & it could not be enforced during the shutdown. As a result, our Dedicated Restoration Team stepped up our efforts in the area.
