Blue Wash Trail Graffiti Removal Project

90 sq FT of graffiti removed from Blue Wash Trail

In 2019, REI employees and members voted for Natural Restorations to receive grant funding to expand our Graffiti Removal Program with our Dedicated Restoration Team.

In January, we contracted 3 Veterans on our Dedicated Restoration Team and got to work on a graffiti removal project at Blue Wash Trail in Cave Creek. This is a popular hiking trail on the Tonto National Forest - Cave Creek District.

Veterans working with us on this project benefited from our program not only through paid contract work but also through spending time in nature with other veterans. It was extremely rewarding both mentally and physically to accomplish this project and make a lasting impact on the state.

You can view past team projects HERE and all of our graffiti removal projects HERE.

Our hope is that by removing the graffiti as seen in the pictures below, fewer people will make the mistake of thinking it is okay to tag the rocks and boulders. We believe everyone should be able to experience nature without graffiti.

Please contact the non-emergency # for the area if you see anyone vandalizing public lands & please contact us when you see graffiti or trash in outdoor recreation & wilderness areas.
