It's always good to be prepared.
Do you have an emergency kit? Having an emergency kit on hand is always a great idea!

Marshmallows are for roasting, not throwing!"
Heading to the great outdoors this weekend? Planning on Salt River tubing? #TontoNF would like to give you a friendly reminder to not throw marshmallows while recreating in the water. At the end of the day, it's considered littering.

Oak Creek is a beautiful watershed that is susceptible to pollution from human and pet waste. 💩Let's all do our part to keep it clean by packing out our waste, using facilities when available, and doing our research before we go. 🚽

If this bothers you as much as it does us, consider joining one of our volunteer clean ups.

Leave the forest better than you found it. While we have a significant trash problem throughout Arizona public lands, it is awesome to see some residents and visitors are willing to help in the effort to keep Arizona public lands clean. These before and after photos were taken by some dedicated volunteers.
THANK YOU!
