CLEAN-UP PROJECT SET FOR REDINGTON PASS

 

Multiple Partners to Participate

 

 

TUCSON, AZ (February 26, 2009) – The Coronado National Forest, along with valued partners, will conduct a project to clean up litter along Redington Pass Road east of Tucson in the Rincon Mountains on Saturday April 11, from 7 am to 12 pm, at milepost 6.5, along the Redington Road.

 

 

“We certainly appreciate the assistance of our partners and the public with these cleanup projects,” said Stan Helin, Santa Catalina District Ranger. “It exemplifies how much people care about their public lands, and are willing to pitch in and volunteer to make them more enjoyable for all.”

 

 

Participating organizations include the Arizona Game and Fish Department, Tucson Rod and Gun Club, Tucson Off-Roaders, and the U.S. Air Force/Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. Those wishing to volunteer should contact the Coronado National Forest’s Rachael Holt at (520) 749-7715 office, or (520) 260-8003 cell. Participants are advised to dress for outdoor activity, wear sturdy shoes, and bring sunscreen and drinking water.

Just a quick report...I joined the clean up effort this morning for 4 hours. This was the second of two weekends the clean up efforts were put on. Unfortunately, I assume, due to the holiday weekend and poor weather the volunteers failed to show up this weekend. Other than myself there was only one other volunteer who showed up. Game and Fish and Forest Service folks were out in force. I know a lot of times they get a bad rap in the hunting forums, including this one, but let me just say they worked their butts off on this project and have done an oustanding job cleaning up the mess left by irresponsible shooters. My hat is off to them.
