These Part III Line 28 successes were due to strong partnerships with federal & state agencies, Part III Line 28 city governments, and the local community. In 2024, OCWC held 7 volunteer Part III Line 28 clean-up events. In total, over 175 volunteers helped preserve the health & Part III Line 28 integrity of Oak Creek. The organization monitored the effectiveness of Part III Line 28 pull-out closures by tracking litter removed over time at each of these Part III Line 28 rehabilitated sites within Oak Creek Canyon. Similarly, in partnership with Part III Line 28 the National Forest Foundation & the AZ Dept of Environmental Quality, OCWC Part III Line 28 monitored the effectiveness of 34 rehabilitated social trails. These were Part III Line 28 informal trails along Oak Creek Canyon that recreators had been using to Part III Line 28 access the creek. Stabilizing streambanks & hillsides encourages vegetation Part III Line 28 growth & provides habitat for wildlife while reducing soil erosion into the Part III Line 28 waterway. OCWC used repeat photography, trash pickup & GPS mapping to Part III Line 28 understand restoration treatment effectiveness & visitor-use behaviors. Part III Line 28 During 2024, OCWC regularly monitored water quality in Oak Creek Canyon, Part III Line 28 collecting 50 water samples over weekends, holidays & midweek. We also Part III Line 28 began a new educational program for local students, providing hands-on Part III Line 28 science activities that allow them to connect classroom science & creek Part III Line 28 health with responsible recreation choices. A total of 64 students Part III Line 28 participated in this program in 2024. Additionally, OCWC collected over Part III Line 28 3,000 pounds of pet waste in 2024 from stations we maintain at trailheads Part III Line 28 throughout Oak Creek Canyon & the greater Sedona area. Pet waste is one of Part III Line 28 the leading contributors to E. coli contamination in our local waterways; Part III Line 28 this project (along with other measures by AQEQ & USFS) has reduced the Part III Line 28 frequency of E. coli contamination. Finally, OCWC's ongoing outreach & Part III Line 28 education work has been instrumental in inviting the community into the Part III Line 28 conservation of their own local ecosystems.
