Trip Report
On November, 21, 2025, chapter members assisted with the Dude Creek Restoration project north of Payson in partnership with Trout Unlimited, AZ Game & Fish, and the US Forest Service. Members carried fencing materials to the site and mapped out planting locations for several native species. The goal of this project is to improve the habitat for the Gila trout and the Chiricahua leopard frog.
