The Arizona Game and Fish Department will be installing donated Christmas Trees into Roosevelt Lake on Saturday, January 20th starting at 9:00 AM. Exact location to be determined.

We will be tying trees to cinderblocks and loading them up on Department pontoons to distribute around the lake. Volunteers will be able to help build and deploy trees. We will provide some gloves, for those that need them, along with the habitat supplies to get the trees ready to deploy.

Volunteers should bring their own water, food, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, etc. Volunteers will want to wear closed toed shoes and clothes appropriate for January weather. If you have any questions feel free to email Lacey Schmitt at LSchmitt@azgfd.gov or Nathan Bailey at NBailey@azgfd.gov.

Location: Roosevelt Lake- Ringtail Boat Ramp at Windy Hill

Time: 1/20/24 at 9:00AM - completion (2-3PM)

g and f said they had close to 30 volunteers and 4 pontoon boats taking trees out, guess it was a heck of an effort
