In 2020, the Bush Fire consumed over 193,000 acres, killing an estimated 80,000 saguaro cacti in the Tonto National Forest. Saguaros play a similar role in the Sonoran desert as trees do in our forests, providing food and homes for wildlife. A portion of this region includes over 85 acres of habitat surrounding the base of the Four Peaks Mountains. That's why Natural Restorations, the U.S. Forest Service Tonto National Forest, the National Forest Foundation, Four Peaks Brewing Co., & AZ Wholesale Growers have teamed up again to support and plant saguaros and other native cacti and plants to restore life on the Tonto.
Sign-in: 8:30-9 a.m. | Safety Briefing: 9:00 a.m. | Event Ends: 12:00p.m…

Mission Statement
Our mission is to remove trash, graffiti from outdoor recreation and wilderness areas, revitalize natural areas through replanting projects, and enrich the lives of military veterans and other community members.
Description
We remove trash, graffiti and anything foreign to the environment from outdoor recreation and wilderness areas throughout the state of Arizona. We replant burn scar areas by salvaging cacti that would otherwise be destroyed on construction sites and we transport them to burn scars where our team replants them. We provide contract work to Military Veterans on our Dedicated Restoration Team and host volunteer events for the community, including youth volunteers.
We have a passion for nature and we believe outdoor restorations and education ensures everyone will be able to enjoy outdoor recreation and wilderness areas. We approach every project with a commitment to long-term change and making lasting impacts in communities across the state.
We have removed over 1.9 million pounds of trash (967+ tons), planted over 115,400 trees, plants & cacti, and removed over 49,231 square feet of graffiti. We have provided over 25,470 hours of contract work to military veterans on our Dedicated Restoration Team. We have hosted over 137 volunteer events and completed over 209 restoration projects with our Dedicated Restoration Team.
