January 2020 Lower Salt River Graffiti Removal Project

Blue Point, Coon Bluff & Fox Tail Recreation Areas

337 square feet of graffiti removed from THe Lower Salt River at Blue Point, Coon Bluff, & Foxtail

In 2019, REI employees and members voted for Natural Restorations to receive grant funding to expand our Graffiti Removal Program with our Dedicated Restoration Team. In addition to REI funding, we also used a portion of a private donation for this project. 

In January, we contracted 3 Veterans on our Dedicated Restoration Team and got to work removing graffiti along the Lower Salt River at Blue Point, Coon Bluff and Foxtail.

Veterans working with us on this project benefited from our program not only through paid contract work but also through spending time in nature with other veterans. It was extremely rewarding both mentally and physically for the veterans to accomplish this project and make a lasting impact on the state.

You can view past team projects HERE and all of our graffiti removal projects HERE.

Our hope is that by removing the graffiti as seen in the pictures below, fewer people will make the mistake of thinking it is okay to tag the rocks and boulders. We believe everyone should be able to experience nature without graffiti.

Please contact the non-emergency # for the area if you see anyone vandalizing public lands & please contact us when you see graffiti or trash in outdoor recreation & wilderness areas.
