Recollections from Friends of the Forest Volunteers
Friends of the Forest volunteers have countless stories to tell. From helping a frightened hiker regain her confidence to replacing trail signs damaged by bears, answering unusual visitor questions, and removing graffiti from public lands, every day brings new experiences. Enjoy this collection of heartwarming, humorous, and unforgettable volunteer memories.
Volunteer Crew Improves Sedona’s Trails
The Trail Maintenance and Construction (TM&C) crew of Friends of the Forest has wrapped up another productive season supporting the U.S. Forest Service in improving, protecting, and expanding the trail network of the Red Rock Ranger District. The 2025–2026 season brought a wide range of projects, from infrastructure upgrades to habitat protection to new trail construction.
Don’t Become a Statistic
Hiking in Northern Arizona heat requires more than good intentions. Before you head out, know what to carry, how to hydrate, and how to recognize the early signs of heat exhaustion. Friends of the Forest volunteers share practical guidance for staying safe on Sedona-area trails this summer.
