The public is invited to provide input during the 30-day comment period beginning Aug. 3rd through Sept. 4th. The assessment includes nine separate activities to improve the watershed conditions, wildlife habitat, and water quality, including removing unauthorized roadside parking in locations along state Route 89A in Upper Oak Creek. A public meeting will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on August 20th at the Red Rock Ranger District Office in Sedona.
