Brown Canyon

                                                            Brown Canyon Waters
                                                    Brown Canyon, Huachuca Mountains
                                                                 Cochise County, Arizona

                                                                        2005 to 2015
 
 
What:  Since 2005 volunteers from the Huachuca Gould’s Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation have worked on several wildlife water developments in Brown Canyon of the Huachuca Mountains.
When:  Beginning 2005 and Continuing
Where:  Brown Canyon of the Huachuca Mountains is located approximately 10 miles southwest of Sierra Vista, Arizona     
General Information:  Brown Canyon is situated close to important Gould’s Turkey areas in Ramsey and Garden Canyons.  Available water in the canyon is mostly seasonal or dependent on troughs connected to a deteriorating, 60-year old metal pipeline.
In late 2006 and early 2007, personnel from the US Forest Service replaced the aging pipeline with HDPE pipe, primarily to supply reliable water to the ponds at Brown Canyon Ranch.  Chapter volunteers assisted in this effort.
Tapping into the new pipeline, the Huachuca Gould’s Chapter installed 2 wildlife drinkers ½ and 1-mile up canyon from Brown Canyon Ranch on December 8th, 2007.
The Chapter has assisted in several other projects in Brown Canyon as well.  These include helping the Friends of Brown Canyon Ranch and Forest Service volunteers up-grade 2 spring boxes and a cistern that are the sources for pipeline, assisting Cub Scout Pack 445 install an escape ramp, replacing a supply pipe to a cement trough, burying several hundred feet of pipeline in the canyon, and erecting a wildlife friendly fence around the lower House pond for an Eagle Scout project.
Huachuca Gould’s Chapter members continue to maintain the numerous developments several times a year.
Image Descriptions:  The following images show the variety and extent of projects in Brown Canyon that the Huachuca Gould’s Chapter has implemented with several partners since 2005
Acknowledgements:  Cooperating groups and organizations have been Friends of Brown Canyon Ranch, Cub Scout Pack 445, Coronado National Forest volunteers (especially Karen and John Poole), Coronado National Forest personnel, and Arizona Game and Fish Department personnel
