Broken Glass Clean-Up at Florence-Kelvin Trailhead Coming in October

"This is being headed up by a group called Natural Restorations, in partnership with the Arizona State Land Department and the Arizona Trail Association," stated Kent Taylor, Open Space and Trails Director. "They will be out there helping to beautify the trailhead and surrounding area.

Volunteers should wear long pants, sturdy closed toe shoes/boots, and bring thick work gloves. We also encourage volunteers to bring sunscreen and hats. If you have tools, such as landscape rakes, snow/square shovels and heavy-duty buckets bring them with you; they will help with the large piles of glass.

The Arizona Trail is a National Scenic Trail that stretches from the border of Mexico north to the Arizona-Utah border. The trail crosses Pinal County north from the Coronado National Forest through Oracle, Superior and the Tonto National Forest.

To volunteer to help out with the clean up or for more information, contact Nicole at 480-628-3903.

*Minimum age requirement for this event is 14 years old. A responsible adult must accompany and supervise anyone under the age of 18. There is scattered trash and debris in the areas surrounding the trail that will provide experiential education opportunities for youth, scout groups and families.
