individuals with an adventurous attitude. Come uncover the many

WHEN: From October 2006 through December 2007
WHO: The Arizona State Parks Board was established in 1957 to
acquire and manage areas.
Over the years, legislation has added other programs to Arizona
State Parks and as a result, the volunteer board is responsible
for a much broader spectrum of duties.
These duties are related to historic preservation, archaeology,
outdoor recreation, resource conservation/education, and grant
administration.
WHERE: State Parks around the state.
FEE: Fees vary by event.
INFO: For detailed information on each event, call Ellen Bilbrey,
public information officer at (602) 542-1996 or e-mail her at
ebilbrey@pr.state.az.us.
