AAF will be working on private lands approximately 24 miles north of Wilcox and 12 miles west of Bonita, AZ off the High Creek Road to remove/modify several miles of fence.

 

This effort is located in direct proximity to ongoing mesquite removal for the Bonita Grasslands NRCS/G&F restoration project with a goal of improving up to 10,000 acres in the next 4 years. The areas adjacent to and within this project have been grubbed over the past 4 years. These projects will help ensure that resident pronghorn and mule deer can safely utilize open grassland corridors without interference due to fence line obstructions. It will assist in accomplishing a key portion of the overall Bonita Plains pronghorn travel corridor improvement project.

 

Camping will be available Friday – Sunday on USFS lands, approximately 1.5 miles west of the High Creek Road/Sunset Loop intersection. Access to the site is along a maintained travel corridor route, the site is trailer friendly.

 

We will meet at camp at 8:00 AM Saturday morning for check in, instructions and to carpool to the project site.

 

Please RSVP by Tuesday September 15th to info@azantelope.org so we can be sure to have enough tools and food.
