WHO: Hunters Who Care Volunteers and any other dedicated individuals who want to clean up our desert.
WHAT: “Hunters Who Care” is a group of hunters, guides, sportsmen, hunting clubs, and various other groups who are tired of seeing the desert littered with trash. They have come together to clean up our desert and to help landowners who are overwhelmed with immigration problems. Our goal for this clean up is to pick up trash on 3 ranches in Game Management Units 36A, B & C: the Marley Ranch, the Rancho Seco, and the Sopori Ranch (off of Chavez Siding). However, we are not limited to those areas and volunteers can clean up wherever they like.
WHERE: The Hunters Who Care Camp will be off of the Batamote Road on the Marley Ranch. Mile post 17.6 off of the Arivaca Road.
N 31º43.655, W 111º09.588
DIRECTIONS: Take 1-19 to Arivaca Junction (Amado) and exit west. Take the Arivaca Road to mile post 17.6 and go right (northwest) 8 tenths of a mile to the camp. Trash bags and dumpsters will be available at the campsite.
HOW: Volunteers are encouraged to look for trash anywhere they want. If anyone needs any additional accommodations, dumpsters or trailers in different areas, trash bags before the event, of if you are looking for a group to help please contact Mark Frieberg in advance.
