On December 3rd, 2022, The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office conducted another extra patrol detail on public lands between Cottonwood and Sedona. The detail aims to educate campers on the do's and don'ts of camping on public lands, including that a valid recreational permit is permitted for up to two weeks of total recreational camping in a 12-month period, but that during that time they may not damage the land with litter and other activities.
Multiple subjects were contacted and warned that they could not abuse State Trust Land or Forest Service land by littering or using it as a residence. Most of the subjects contacted by deputies were recreational campers, and deputies noticed less trash and litter in the area when compared to these details earlier in the year.
During one contact, a canine camper attempted to join YCSO. His family didn’t support his plan, so he instead continued camping.
However, YCSO is in fact hiring for any positions at ycsojobs.com - adorable furry face optional.
Volunteers from trashdogsaz.org have cleanups scheduled in the near future and we appreciate them helping care for our public lands so they can be preserved and continue to be available for recreational use by everyone in the community.
