• Caring for the Land

  

  The Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests are tasked with managing public lands brimming with natural resources and diverse wildlife. We work to protect at-risk species like the Mexican spotted owl and New Mexican jumping mouse, protect the Heber Wild Horse Territory, ensure forest health through safe logging practices, and restore critical ecosystems.

• Fire Prevention Awareness

  

  Wildfire risk remains. It is always illegal to leave a campfire unattended or use fireworks on National Forest land.

  Fireworks, Explosions, and Sparks Prohibited
