SOMEONE USED A MAJESTIC SAGUARO FOR TARGET SHOOTING

It was extremely upsetting for our team to find this saguaro at Lower Sycamore. Someone painted a target on a saguaro and then used the saguaro for target shooting practice.

There is no excuse for this kind of destructive and disrespectful behavior. We canvased the area looking for a paint can or anything we could turn in to help authorities find who did this.
