Tamolitch Falls, also known as “Blue Pool,” attracts Oregonians and visitors alike with its vivid sapphire waters. Unfortunately, popularity can take a toll. Blue Pool is currently accessed through a segment of the already-popular McKenzie River Trail, and the increased traffic leads to harmful erosion and conflicts for trail users. To make matters worse, Blue Pool’s parking area is not equipped to handle its numerous visitors, who often end up leaving cars parked unsafely along the McKenzie Highway, blocking access for emergency services when needed. In order to help remedy the situation, the NFF is working with the U.S. Forest Service to give Blue Pool its much-needed improvements, constructing a new, accessible trail to Blue Pool that will welcome trail users with a variety of mobility needs. At the same time, the Forest Service will construct a new parking area that will provide room for Blue Pool’s many admirers.

Thank you to everyone who joined Natural Restorations, USDA Forest Service Tonto National Forest, Wells Fargo, National Forest Foundation, Four Peaks Brewing , & Arizona Wholesale Growers today for the 5th annual Save Our Saguaros Replanting Event & Veteran's Day Weekend Celebration!⁠ 🌵⁠ 125 volunteers, including 18 youth volunteers, helped us plant 100 saguaros in the 2020 Bush Fire burn scar at Four Peaks on the Tonto National Forest. ⁠ 🌵⁠ In 2020, the Bush Fire burned over 193,000 acres & over 80,000 saguaros burned in Arizona’s 5th largest wildfire. ⁠Most of the fire occurred in the Sonoran Desert, an ecosystem not evolved or adapted to wildfires. When we lose an adult saguaro, it’s not something that will be replaced in our lifetime. By planting 100 saguaros the burn scar, volunteers are helping us restore the area & helping the ecosystem recover for future generations. Over 2,200 saguaros and almost 5,000 of other native desert cacti have been replanted in the 2020 Bush Fire burn scar!⁠ 🌵⁠ This event was financed in part by grants from Wells Fargo & the USDA Forest Service We are grateful for their support!  🌵 This event was also possible due to support from these Natural Restorations Sponsors: ⁠Arizona Wholesale Growers, AZ 4Runner Outsiders, AZ Toy Pros, Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co. , Beer Barn, Desert Monsters Tours, HDR, Icon Vehicle Dynamics, Illuminated Funds Group, Native Resources Intl., OdySea Aquarium, Resolution Copper, Saguaro Lake Guest Ranch, Security Title Agency, Inc., Salt River Project, State 48 Overland, Stellar Adventures, Wild West Off-Road Recovery, & Yamaha Outdoor Access Initiative.⁠⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 🌵 Thank you to everyone from the Tonto National Forest for their help & support!

Funding from National Forest Foundation helped reduce fuels in some high-priority areas listed in nearby Community Wildfire Protection Plans. This work was completed in January of this year and tied into previous work, so over the past two years, we've worked with partners including the National Forest Foundation to reduce fuels on more than 500 acres in the area! The photos show before and after one project near Mt. Princeton. 📷 CSFS #NFFGranteesAreGreat
