Organized by the Flagstaff Area Stream Team F.A.S.T.

Come celebrate National Make A Difference Day 2011! Take part in this community-based project to revitalize and restore the Rio de Flag Greenbelt and open space. This volunteer project will work on improving wildlife habitat, reclaiming open space, stabilizing floodplain and drainage areas. We’ll have teams working on...

Picking up trash and debris throughout the area
Seeding and planting native vegetation
Building a Watchable Wildlife Platform along the future trail
Removal of noxious weeds
Recording of archeological sites within city property (training provided)

Wait there’s more! A free prize raffle, lunch and post project guided tour!.
Tour details: Get a glimpse of what this area can become after the final restoration phases are complete. Join us after lunch for an expert-guided tour of Picture Canyon! Picture Canyon is a hidden treasure and the perfect place for an afternoon hike to see migrating birds, petroglyphs, and Flagstaff’s very own waterfall.
