    logo_sedonaverdevalleyverdefrontVerde Valley AZ (September 2, 2016) – The Verde Front is pleased to announce a series of community engagement meetings to share information about the Verde Front collaborative, update the public about the efforts of the Verde Front working groups, and invite discussion, feedback and, most importantly, involvement from members of the public to participate on a variety of working groups going forward.  Representatives from the Verde Watershed Restoration Coalition will also share information about the riparian restoration work being done in the Verde Watershed and how the public can participate.  Areas for discussion will include:

    • River Recreation
    • Trails  
    • Watchable Wildlife
    • Economic Development
    • Fossil Creek
    • Youth
    • Volunteerism
    • Watershed Restoration

    The Verde Front began in 2008, and is focused on sustainable outdoor recreation on the Verde River, its tributaries, and the surrounding Verde Valley uplands from the Sycamore Creek/Verde River confluence downstream to Beasley Flat, the gateway to the Wild and Scenic stretch of the Verde River.   The mission of the Verde Front is “Citizens, organizations, agencies, and local governments collaborate to protect ecosystem health, natural and cultural resources, and promote robust economies in the cities and towns of the Verde Valley, with emphasis on well-managed recreation, education, and restoration that sustainably connect to the land.”  This effort strives to balance a variety of recreational uses with conservation and restoration efforts led by Verde Watershed Restoration Coalition partners in the region.

    The Verde Watershed Restoration Coalition was formed in 2010 as a public-private partnership, and is focused on watershed scale management of invasive plants along the Verde River and its tributaries, developing a native plant nursery to support habitat restoration, enhancing volunteer opportunities and youth engagement, and addressing other restoration needs in the Verde Watershed.

    Verde Front and Verde Watershed Restoration Coalition working groups are comprised of city, town and county representatives, public land managers, non-governmental organizations, recreational groups, business owners and interested citizens and individuals.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
