Closure of Wolverton Mountain Trail 9415, April 17-20, 2023, for Thinning Operations

Wolverton Mountain Trail 9415 will be closed to the public starting on Monday, April 17 through Thursday, April 20, 2023.  A contractor on the Jack Pine Mastication project is currently working on the Bradshaw Ranger District and using heavy equipment to thin approximately 525 acres. This project is being implemented under the Bradshaw Vegetation Management Project. The project area is located on national forest lands southwest of Prescott on the west side of White Spar Road.

The thinning area overlaps a portion of Wolverton Mountain Trail 9415 which makes up part of the Prescott Circle Trail from Wolverton Mountain to White Spar Road. In order to protect public safety, this section of trail will be closed from April 17 – 20, 2023.

We ask the public to avoid the project area especially if equipment is operating. Please do not enter areas where the heavy equipment is operating; approaching such equipment is very dangerous as the operator will not see you. Signs will be posted, and barricades put in place and the contractor will take steps to mitigate impacts to the trail.

For more information, please contact the Bradshaw & Chino Valley Ranger Districts at 928-443-8000.
