Happy National Forest Week! We are so grateful for the forests for all that they provide - clean water, air, wildlife habitat, recreation, and so much more.

Did you know that Arizona is the most biodiverse inland state in the US? This is largely thanks to our wide range of national forests and the unique ecosystems they sustain.

Throughout the year, our field crews are working to preserve national forests across the state, alongside our wonderful project partners. Thank you for all that you do! 🌲

Our IP staff and members have been keeping busy! From tabling at the Governor’s "Youth Commission Pathways to Sustainability” event, tabling at the Liberty Wildlife Wish Tree Earth Day event, and attending other conservation focused events within the state.

Samantha Foster, the Urban Forestry Program Coordinator, had the opportunity to table the earth day event at Liberty Wildlife. This event celebrated community and care for wildlife and was a great opportunity for AZCC to connect with members of the community!

Crew 396 has spent much of their spring season working in Pecos, New Mexico! During their third hitch, they completed fuels mitigation by removing trees to create and maintain a fire break and lower the risk of wildfire at Pecos National Historical Park. This hitch, they covered over 4 acres! 🌲

The crew also had the opportunity to tour the Pecos Pueblo and connect with the local nature, as they were camped right by the Pecos River. As one member put it, "taking time to be with your environment on a hitch is worth a lot."

If you're interested in getting into this type of outdoor work, keep an eye on our website for some upcoming crew positions coming soon 👀

Crew 395 is spending much of their season constructing and maintaining trails in the Coconino National Forest! During their last hitch, they completed rock work, built drainage systems to manage water flow and prevent erosion, and cleared brush and debris to keep the trails accessible. There’s so much detail and science that goes into trailwork, and this crew has got it down! Thank you Crew 395 for all your incredible work!

During this past training cycle, AZCC crew members from Tucson and Flagstaff helped build part of a new mountain bike trail for the state NICA championship race. Their efforts created over 2,500 feet of the Ubuntu Trail! Last weekend, AZCC staff returned for the grand opening and even got to ride the trail!

Big thank you to the Tonto National Forest, Payson's Parks and Recreation, and AZCC crew members for making this happen!
