Road Rewilding in the Huachucas

December 12, 2024

Join SIA as we physically decommission closed roads in the southern foothills of the Huachuca Mountains. We’ll be camouflaging roads with rocks and woody debris, reseeding native plants, building erosion-control structures, and installing signs to notify the public about closures. We’ll be camping overnight, but day-trippers are also welcome.
