The BLM is planning to have a volunteer project on Saturday September 30, 2006 to install a couple of interpretive exhibits and build about 250 ft. of foot path at the Cottonwood Canyon Petroglyph site north of Mineral Mountain. Below are the project
details.
Volunteers needed: Approximately 20 volunteers.
Work involved: Install two interpretive exhibits, and build about 250 ft of footpath. The exhibits will require digging a couple of holes, setting the exhibit and back filling with reddy mix concrete.
Meeting place: At the project area approximately 7 miles east of Highway 79 along the Cottonwood Canyon Rd.
Meet at the site at 08:30 AM
Work will wrap up by 1:00 PM or so.
The BLM will provide water and lunch, and needed tools,
Volunteers please bring work gloves and work shoes and personal items.
Depending on interest, field trips to look at other project sites in the
vicinity will be organized.
The map to get to the project site is at the link below:

I'd like to have a head count by the end of this week if possible. Please reply to this post if your going to assist with the project. We are looking for dedicated volunteers. This is a fantastic opportunity to sweeten our relationship with BLM for future projects, events and trail runs.
Thank you very much for helping with this project. If you have any questions of comments, please PM me or call me @ 850.9359.
