Join us for a weekend of wildlife habitat improvement in the cool pines of northern AZ. This year the AES, AZGFD and USFS will be working on restoration of grassland meadows. Though the years the grasslands have been invaded by small jack pine and juniper trees and bushes. We will be handcutting these small trees and scattering them to restore grasslands. Many different types of wildlife will benefit from this project including Elk, Deer, Antelope and grassland birds. The areas we will be restoring are important migration corridors for elk and antelope.

The Arizona Elk Society will be providing meals and refreshments for the weekend. Meals will be Friday dinner, Saturday breakfast, lunch and dinner, Sunday breakfast and lunch.
