Join Friends of the Tonto National Forest in mapping and monitoring invasive plants at the Lost Dutchman State Park. Mapping and monitoring events involve hiking through areas our crews have previously visited to look for non-native grasses, with small-scale removal as needed. Removing invasive plants is extremely important to reduce the impact wildfires have. These grasses add fuel to fires, causing them to burn longer and hotter. Help us protect one of the region's most idyllic areas. Check out our video to see a time lapse of volunteers in action!
We'll meet at parking area near gatehouse to pick up free pass. More information online: www.friendsofthetonto.org/projects/threats-to-the-sonoran-desert/

Mission Statement
Friends of the Tonto National Forest is a group of volunteers who assist the Forest Service in its critical mission of natural and cultural resource and visitor use management. We promote public understanding of the Tonto National Forest’s policies, programs and projects.
Description
Friends of the Tonto National Forest was founded by a former Forest Service employee in order to help the Forest Service achieve the many projects that are being done. The Tonto is over 2.9 million acres, so managing it takes a lot of people! Friends of the Tonto organizes the following projects: Riparian Photopoint, Invasive Plant Removal, Milkweed for Monarchs, Cave Creek Trail System Maintenance, Water Source Inventory, Adopt-a-Site, and Archaeology.
