PRESCOTT — The Arizona State Rifle and Pistol Association, in conjunction with Tread Lightly!,” which promotes responsible recreation through stewardship, communication and education, has scheduled a cleanup June 11 at Doce Pit, a popular recreational shooting area near Prescott.

Volunteers – including recreational shooters, off-highway vehicle (OHV) enthusiasts, hikers and others who champion responsible recreation – are needed for the four-hour event, which begins at 8 a.m. Volunteers are encouraged to bring water, work gloves, hat, sunscreen, trash pinchers and buckets. Long pants and sturdy shoes are recommended.

All volunteers who fill at least two trash bags will receive a free one-year ASRPA membership. The trash bags will be provided, and each volunteer will be shown exactly where their help will be needed along the three-mile stretch of Doce Road. Prescott National Forest representatives will conduct a pre-cleanup informational meeting at 8 a.m.
