👋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.

⚒️ #TrailSkillsInstituteTuesday! (can we make ⚒️ #TrailSkillsInstituteTuesday! (can we make that a thing?) This past weekend, folks who attended Trail Skills Institute Module 6 (Obliteration and Restoration) learned a lot! While they worked on #arizonatrail Passage 11a they learned: • Hydrology • Decompaction • Site lines • Naturalization/Organics 🔸These are the fundamental principles of obliterating an old trail and restoring the surrounding landscape. The trainees did an excellent job of removing this redundant, dangerous trail leading from the Wilderness Bypass to the General Hitchcock Campground. We also removed an old fire sign and moved the existing trail mileage sign to align with the new trail. Thanks to Mark Loseth for another amazing, informative weekend and thanks to the trainees for making this project happen! 👉 Interested in attending a Trail Skills Institute? Link in our bio!
