Natural Restorations is teaming with the Coconino Forest Service on Saturday, July 16th, from 8 a.m. to Noon to remove trash and debris from the areas surrounding the Arizona Trail Passage 32a, off Forest Road 791 & Historic Route 66.
Volunteers should wear long pants, sturdy closed toe shoes/boots, and bring thick work gloves. We also encourage volunteers to bring sunglasses and a hat. Real Purity donated Zinc Oxide sunscreen & herbal insect repellant for volunteers to use.
The Forest Service requires Personal Protective Equipment; this includes closed toe shoes/boots, gloves, and hard hats.
*If you do not have gloves or a hard hat, please let us know & we can reserve them with the Forest Service for you to use that day.
A responsible adult must accompany and supervise anyone under the age of 18 years old.
Scattered trash & debris in this area provide experiential education opportunities for youth, scout groups and families.
This may be different from other cleanups you have attended because the trash is scattered. Please be prepared to do some light to moderate hiking, bending, stooping, & picking up trash from the ground & around vegetation; the trash won’t be in one specific area. Please dress according to the weather & in clothes that can get dirty.
Join us for a morning of stewardship and hands-on service learning along a beautiful section of the Arizona Trail. Help us keep Arizona beautiful and have a fun morning with a great group of people.
To register and for additional details, please contact Nicole at contact@naturalrestorations.org.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to remove trash, graffiti from outdoor recreation and wilderness areas, revitalize natural areas through replanting projects, and enrich the lives of military veterans and other community members.
Description
We remove trash, graffiti and anything foreign to the environment from outdoor recreation and wilderness areas throughout the state of Arizona. We replant burn scar areas by salvaging cacti that would otherwise be destroyed on construction sites and we transport them to burn scars where our team replants them. We provide contract work to Military Veterans on our Dedicated Restoration Team and host volunteer events for the community, including youth volunteers.
We have a passion for nature and we believe outdoor restorations and education ensures everyone will be able to enjoy outdoor recreation and wilderness areas. We approach every project with a commitment to long-term change and making lasting impacts in communities across the state.
We have removed over 1.5 million pounds of trash (791+ tons), planted over 53,500 trees, plants & cacti, and removed over 42,451 square feet of graffiti. We have provided over 17,400 hours of contract work to military veterans on our Dedicated Restoration Team. We have hosted over 107 volunteer events and completed over 141 restoration projects with our Dedicated Restoration Team.
