Arizona Elk Society Big Lake Work Project

[rthrbhntng]

The Arizona Elk Society has scheduled a work project for the weekend of MAY 31-JUNE 1.

Burro Creek area around Big Lake is where we will be removing up to 15 miles of barbed wire fencing South of Big Lake. These fences cross good Antelope, Elk and Deer habitat. It will be a significant benefit to remove these fences. We will be removing and rolling up wire, pulling and hauling out posts (steel and wood). We need a lot of help on this project so please mark your calendars. We will be providing meals Friday night, Saturday breakfast, lunch and dinner (rumor has it Tom’s having lobster), and Sunday breakfast. We need fence rolling equipment, post pullers, pliers and as many able bodied volunteers as possible. We will be working with barbed wire and lots of it. Bring your sun block, hats, gloves and long sleeved shirts and pants. Be prepared for all kinds of weather. We need around 60 people.

There will be time in the afternoons to fish at Big Lake and Crescent Lake.

The main camp will be in the woods near Big Lake. You can camp at the Big Lake Camp Ground but you will be responsible for getting your own reservations.

Call or email Tom Schorr. It will be good to RSVP so we can plan on food. 602-431-4131. Email thomas.schorr@fcssw.com.
