They have also removed and recycled 1,047 tires dumped in natural areas. In November 2020, they launched a Replanting Program. To date, they have planted 22,030 trees in the Cactus Fire burn area at the Lower Salt River that is part of the Lower Salt River Restoration Project with Program Managers from the EcoCulture team at NAU and we recently began the first phase replanting in the Bush Fire scar area."
