New trail construction over sensitive soils and archeology sites

If you see theses happening or hear someone is doing this please notify the local ranger district immediately with description of the person(s) location and what is being done!  This only takes limited time and money away from other projects such as education, maintaining existing trails, and other recreational opportunities (928) 282-4119.

TRACS Volunteer Hours should be counted  Beginning January 1, 2004 all members of Tracs who work on trails (T), patrol (P), pick up litter (L), or attend meetings (M), including the preparation of the meeting and minutes, need to keep track of the hours they spend doing the activity and relay this information to Karen Dansby [email protected]

It is important that this information is kept for accuracy and completeness so when the USFS is applying for grants that they can show that TRACS volunteers have “in kind” hours! 
Please send Karen the type of activity (T,P,L,M), date, and number of hours so it can be recorded.  You can also contact her at any time to check on the number of hours you have volunteered.  Thanks a bunch!!!
