Last Opportunity to use Moonset Pit
WILLIAMS, Ariz. – Community members have one more opportunity to gather forest debris from their property and drop it off at the Moonset Pit. The Pit will be open, Saturday, Sept. 22 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., before closing for the season. The Pit is on National Forest land, west of Parks and east of Spitz Springs on the north side of Old Route 66. Community members can only deposit natural, woody debris, such as pine needles and branches, at the Pit. Firefighters count on you. Do your part in clearing flammable material away from your home to reduce the risk of a wildfire from starting or spreading on your property. Moonset Pit is a customer service offered by the Kaibab National Forest and the communities of Parks and Sherwood Forest Estates in coordination with the Rural Communities Fuels Management Partnership. Unfortunately, not enough volunteers signed up this year to staff the Pit through October. For more information about the Moonset Pit, please call Ray Raetzel at 928-635-0059 or Anne Dudley at 928-635-0417.
