Rogers Lake County Natural Area Wins Arizona Parks and Recreation Association's Natural Resources Award, twice!
Coconino County Parks and Recreation was awarded the 2017 Natural Resources Award by the Arizona Parks and Recreation Association for Rogers Lake County Natural Area Recreation Improvements. Since 2011, CCPR has been hard at work putting recreation improvements in place that are sustainable in design while celebrating sustainability with residents and visitors. In August 2016, CCPR completed a 6-mile trail system and two trailheads with parking at the county natural area, and in April 2017, we finished a watchable wildlife viewing platform that overlooks the lake. Both enhancements engage the visitor using many of their senses and are sustainable in design that uses re-purposed materials throughout. There are many more sustainable features that staff has done at the natural area, including:
• A ramada structure built from recycled lumber that diverts rainwater to a water feeder for birds, bats, and small mammals
