We are hosting a multi-day volunteer project on April 9–13 and April 23–27. Feel free to sign up for one or multiple days! When you respond, please note what day/s you plan to attend. Volunteers will help install approximately 2,000 feet of combined Pipe Rail, Smooth Wire, and Cable Wire fencing to partially exclude livestock from accessing Hat Tank and the Spring, while still allowing access for wildlife. A flood gate will also be installed as part of this effort. This project will help protect sensitive water resources and improve habitat conditions while maintaining wildlife access.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The Tank is located approximately 1.5 hours from Flagstaff in a very remote location on the Kaibab National Forest. There is no cell phone reception at the project site and very limited cell phone reception at the staging site. A 4x4 vehicle with high clearance will be required to get to the site. We will meet at the staging location at 8:30am each morning and work a FULL 6-8 hours.

Downloadable map and directions will be provided.
This is outdoor, hands-on work that may involve lifting, digging, carrying materials, and working on uneven terrain. Volunteers should come prepared for variable weather conditions. Please wear long pants, long sleeves, and closed-toe shoes. Bring your own snacks, water, and lunch for the day. Camping is an option if working multiple days in a row but you will be on your own for gear, food, water, etc. Eye protection and gloves will be provided if you do not have your own.
We appreciate your willingness to support this important conservation effort and look forward to working together at Hat Tank!
