COMPLETED - 26 BAR ADOPT-A-RANCH PROJECT

On June 28-29th 32 volunteers from all over the state came together to clean out and seal a 20,000 gallon water tank that was leaking.  It was a very muddy job but we got one tank completely done and another mucked out and ready to finish.  Another area that was worked on had the volunteers fixing a fence surrounding a beautiful riparian area.  The AES had great support from the AZGFD and USFS and some great weather.  Volunteers from as far away as Hereford AZ came out and worked their tails off. 
Thank you all very much for your support and hard work.  We will be posting the event on our website as well as the Tracker Magazine.
