Helping Flagstaff Forests - Volunteer Event

In 2022, Coconino National Forest completed a new trail plan for the Mt. Elden and Dry Lake Hills area north of Flagstaff, Arizona. To meet growing recreational demands and protect natural resources, the U.S. Forest Service is building new trails, rerouting eroded trails, and closing and restoring others.

Join us to help the Forest Service turn its paper plan into on-the-ground action. Working alongside the agency, we will restore closed areas as specified in its trail plan to help wildlife, soil, and water quality recover and to improve the fire resilience of Flagstaff’s forests.

All volunteers ages 14 and up are welcome to help us move rocks and branches, build barriers, and clean up campsites for the benefit of our forests. Childcare is provided for young children under age 13 upon request.
