We had the honor of presenting a check to the Gila Watershed Partnership of Arizona for $43,534 to complete phase two of the Gila River Linear Park and Trail. Phase two will develop the necessary private land easements and a detailed restoration plan.
“The Linear Park and Trail will re-connect the residents and visitors to the river and highlighting its importance to the region. The Linear Park and Trail will connect with an existing non-motorized shared-use pathway that meanders for nearly 7.5 miles along the Gila River, completing a loop through the communities of Thatcher and Safford. The project has gained support from both local leaders and residents alike.” -Melanie Tluczek
We can not wait to see how this amazing project turns out!
