On Tuesday, February 14th at 10:00 AM the State Land Department will host a public comment hearing at City Hall, regarding the City of Flagstaff's proposed acquisition of Picture Canyon.

Picture Canyon is a portion of the Rio De Flag lying in State Trust land and located East of the City's Wildcat Hill wastewater treatment plant. It is a National Historic Site with rock art, a waterfall and rare perennial wetlands. The hard work of the Picture Canyon Working Group has resulted in the State Land Department being willing to consider that conservation rather than development would be the best use of this land.

Please try and attend this meeting and show your support for the permanent protection of Picture Canyon. For more information about the canyon and the work being done to preserve it see: http://friendsoftheriodeflag.org/pc/picture_canyon/Acquisition.html
