Project Location: We will be working on BLM lands approximately 4 miles south east of the Vekol Valley Exit at Mile Marker 144, 25 miles west/southwest of Casa Grande, AZ.

Project Begins: Saturday, March 7, 2026. Please meet at camp not later than 8:00AM. This is a one-day project. Due to the road conditions we may be carpooling to the worksite in 4X4’s only. If you arrive after 8:00 AM you may be unable to drive individually to the worksite. NOTE: If you are a first time attendee, please go the following link and watch the 4 separate u-tubes on actual fence modifications: https://www.azantelope.org/Volunteer

Project Activity: We will be removing 2-3 miles of 4-strand fence.

Sonoran Pronghorn Benefits: This effort is located on the eastern boundary of historic endangered Sonoran Pronghorn habitat and near the current release site. The BLM has had a long-term plan of removing up to 54 miles of un-needed livestock fence in this zone to make it more attractive to Sonoran Pronghorn. This marks our 6th of multiple fence removal projects planned in this zone. Pronghorn have been released in this zone 3 times the most recent December of 2024.

What to Bring: Work gloves (The AAF will have a limited supply), snacks, water, personal gear.

Meals: Please provide your own lunch to eat in the field on Saturday. AAF will provide field water on the project day and dinner for all volunteers on Friday and Saturday nights , continental breakfasts on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
