lower sycamore Spring Cleanup

We hosted our annual Lower Sycamore Spring Cleanup on Saturday, April 9th, 2022. With the help of 42 volunteers, including 7 youth volunteers and our 5-member Dedicated Restoration Team, we removed 2.01 tons of trash and 13 tires from this OHV area. That’s 4,020 pounds of trash no longer littering our public lands! Thank you to all of the volunteers for helping us make a significant impact on this area!

This project was financed in part by a grant from the Arizona Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Recreation Fund administered by Arizona State Parks & Trails. Thank you to everyone at U.S. Forest Service Tonto National Forest - Mesa Ranger District for their help and support of this event! ⁠

Thank you to Kyle, Rich and everyone at the Discount Tire in Queen Creek off Ellsworth Loop for helping us recycle 13 tires removed from Lower Sycamore.

We know volunteers don’t attend our events for prizes, but it’s a nice way to help show them how much local organizations and the community appreciates their hard work.

THANK YOU TO THE ARIZONA OFF-HIGHWAY VEHICLE (OHV) RECREATION FUND ADMINISTERED BY ARIZONA STATE PARKS & TRAILS FOR AWARDING A GRANT TO NATURAL RESTORATIONS AND OUR DEDICATED RESTORATION TEAM!
