    logo_friendsoftheforestsedonaSedona AZ (January 28, 2019) – On Thursday February 7 the Friends of the Forest (FOF) is hosting a new member welcome event at the Red Rock Ranger Station Visitor Center on State Route 179 just south of the Village of Oak Creek.  FOF looks forward to seeing not only new members, but also anyone interested in learning about and hopefully joining our organization.

    Starting at 2:00 pm in the Visitor Center, several FOF speakers and committee chairpersons will present short descriptions of their activities: removing graffiti, maintaining or patrolling our trails, serving as a docent at one of the Cultural Heritage sites, assisting visitors at the Visitor Center, helping coordinate our public education programs, creating photo documentation of archaeological sites, providing River Ranger support, collecting water samples, maintaining a wilderness air quality monitoring station, or working on one of the many special projects in support of our local Wildlife Biologist.  In short, there are opportunities for everyone.

    If you are new to the area, you may not yet be aware that Friends of the Forest is sponsored by the National Forest Service. Our mission is to support the Red Rock Ranger District by providing resources to help accomplish critical tasks.  We are the largest such volunteer organization in the country.

    With visitation increasing every year, more and more stress is put on our natural resources.  FOF helps relieve that stress, enhancing the natural experience for visitors and residents alike.

    To help Friends of the Forest protect the natural beauty of Sedona and the Verde Valley, please join us on February 7 at the Red Rock Ranger Visitor Center at 2:00PM to learn more. For RSVP, please respond to membership@fofsedona.org.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
