The Gila National Forest is reminding all its visitors that when visiting all areas of the forest, it’s essential to respect the forest’s natural beauty by picking up your trash and cleaning up after yourself. The forest’s pristine landscapes and diverse wildlife depend on the community’s commitment to properly disposing of waste and following the forest’s rules and regulations. By cleaning up after yourself, you can help preserve the unique environment for future generations to enjoy.
