🙌 Gila Canyons Rainwater Collector Repaired! W 🙌 Gila Canyons Rainwater Collector Repaired! Windy conditions this winter and spring damaged the roof catchment panels on the rainwater collector at the southern end of #arizonatrail Passage 17. High winds folded the metal roof completely in half and greatly reduced the amount of rainwater the unit was able to collect. @torcamtb (Tucson Offroad Cyclists & Activists) generously provided their UTV for ATA staff to access this rugged and remote location with all the necessary equipment, materials and tools to make field repairs. While welding was off-limits due to Stage 2 Fire Restrictions on the Tonto National Forest, the rainwater collector was repaired by other means. A "rat screen" was also added inside to keep critters away from the inlet funnel. The ATA has plans to return in the Fall of this year when welding is possible in order to make more permanent repairs. @neefusa_org

👋Sign the Public Lands Protection Petition 🔗 👋Sign the Public Lands Protection Petition 🔗 in our bio As a member of the #ArizonaTrail community, we urge you to prioritize the protection of public lands. Our deserts, mountains, canyons, forests, lakes, streams, and trails are among our nation’s most valuable resources. Public lands belong to all Americans, and are important to our state’s outdoor recreation economy and rural communities. The majority of Arizonans agree that public lands should not be sold, leased, privatized, or sacrificed to resource extraction. Please support any legislation that protects public lands, and oppose any efforts to transfer federally managed land to the states or sell them to private entities. Communicate directly with Interior Secretary Burgum and tell him, “hands off our public lands,” especially our national monuments. Out of respect to past, present and future generations; wildlife; rural communities; health and wellness; our outdoor recreation economy; and the land itself — we must protect public lands and waters.
📢Arizona Public Lands Action Week starts today! 📢Arizona Public Lands Action Week starts today! Check out the events, including guided hikes on the #arizonatrail - Saturday, May 10! Visit the link in our bio to find out more, and register for the hikes!
