Hi Everyone,

I wanted to share with you the Arizona Antelope Foundation information on for their April 14-16 project as well as upcoming activities.  They are currently looking for volunteers and if you are interested everything you need to know is listed below.
I have also included a copy of this information as an attachment.




[Arizona Antelope Foundation Highway 83/Babocomari Ranch Fence Modification April 14-16, 2017]

Project Location: We will be working on ADOT Right-of-Way (ROW) fences on Highway 83 from Elgin School south.

Project Begins: Friday April 14th at 10AM, Saturday April 15th 8-5 and Sunday 8-12. Meet at camp for all start times. The campsite will be available on Thursday night. This is a 3-day project, but we need the most volunteers on Saturday. If you can only work one day Saturday would be the best for our work crew alloca- tions.

Project Activity: We will be modifying approximately 2 miles of existing fence in 6 different segments on the ROW of HW83-South. We will be removing the 2 bottoms strands of barbed wire and replacing with a single strand of smooth wire at a height of 16 inches. All fence stays will be removed and replaced with new. We will also modify 3.5 miles of adjacent pasture fence removing 2 strands and replacing with a smooth wire at a height of 18 inches.

Pronghorn Benefits: This highway ROW travel corridor project will improve motorist safety and help ensure that pronghorn that are now regularly crossing HW83-South do not get hung up within the ROW. This project is a "Capstone" effort and will complete free pronghorn access in the southern portion of the Santa Cruz Plains pronghorn corridor improvement project.

NFWF Grant Benefits: All volunteer work hours and mileage will be use as in-kind match for our 6-year our Southeastern Arizona Pronghorn Enhancement project funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the Arizona Game and Fish Habitat Partnership program.

Meals: Please provide your own lunches to eat in the field on the 3 work days.  The AAF will be providing din- ners on both Friday and Saturday nights and continental breakfasts with coffee and juice on Saturday and Sunday mornings.



What to Bring: Work gloves (The AAF will have a limited supply), snacks, water, personal gear.

Contact: Glen Dickens at (520-247-4907) for project information. If you are planning to attend, please RSVP

to info at azantelope.org<mailto:info at azantelope.org> by April 7th so we can plan to have enough food and tools.
