ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY
Sierra Vista, Cochise County, Arizona
November 2nd, 2019
What and Where: Once again, the Huachuca Gould’s Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation cleaned up a portion of Coronado Drive in Sierra Vista, Arizona. This effort is part of the City’s Adopt-A-Highway program.
When: November 2nd, 2019
General Information: Ten volunteers from the Huachuca Gould’s Chapter trolled Coronado Drive in Sierra Vista for trash and debris. This is the 9th year of Huachuca Gould’s participation in the City’s Adopt-A-Highway program.
The Chapter’s assigned area is a .8 mile part of Coronado Drive that runs in front of the Sierra Vista City Hall and Police Department Headquarters. Signs in blue with white lettering stand at both ends of the street segment and recognize the Huachuca Gould’s Chapter and the National Wild Turkey Federation for this public service. This clean-up occurs twice a year.
After an 8:00 AM briefing in front of City Hall, the volunteers spread out north and south to cover both sides of the street and all adjacent storm drainages. Work was completed in about 1.5 hours. The weather cooperated with moderate, almost warm spring temperatures.
Nine or so 30-gallon trash bags were filled. The bags and loose debris will be picked up by the City and hauled to the local land fill.
Wayne Kaiser organized the volunteers and coordinated the project with personnel from the City of Sierra Vista. Assisting Wayne in the clean-up were Dave Kemnitz, Wayne Bunza, Lorin Kaiser, Jason Warne, Tim Warne, Dave Inman, Bob Pourier, Ryan Catlett, and Tom Deecken.
The next clean-up will be scheduled for the spring of 2020. Check the Chapter’s website in late October and early November for more information.
