Verde Headwaters Field School – June 4-7

The Verde Headwaters Field School is being run by the Flagstaff Chapter of the Arizona Hydrological Society from June 4-7 at various locations in the Paulden, Chino Valley and Prescott area.  The following are text, displays and maps supporting the field school on the following topics:

• the area’s major drainages (the upper Verde and Granite Creek plus a few others);
• area watersheds;
• springs;
• groundwater conditions;
• discussions about the Prescott water supply and management of the Prescott AMA;
• geology of the area;
• mine reclamation.

Fieldtrip goers can join us for the day or stay with us at the unique setting and accommodations of the Little Thumb Butte Bed & Breakfast reserved for AHS members only. All attendees must pay the $75 trip fee ($80 for day-trip non-members) to be covered by insurance. The rooms at the Bed and Breakfast are full, but you can still park your RV (water/sewer/electricity sites available!), pitch a tent, or have a sleeping cot ready for you in John’s shiftpod superdome! An alternative for accommodations is to book a hotel room in Chino Valley.

You can also purchase meals from the B&B, brought to you farm-fresh by owner, Ann, and her staff. Gluten free or vegetarian or other dietary needs are no problem. We will email all attendees before the event to provide Ann with a final list of requests. Hiking will be rugged or like bushwacking in places. Field boots and long pants recommended for hikes. Start hydrating a week before the trip, as temperatures could reach the low 90s.”

This trip is being run as a break-even event. The Chapter is seeking several sponsors to help cover costs for this amazing 4-day trip! Sponsor levels include: Verde Headwaters at $750 (logo on field trip hat and top-tier in the spiral-bound field guide; full-page advertisement in field guide), Stillman Lake at $500 (logo on field guide; ½ page advertisement in field guide) or Granite Creek at $250 (logo on field guide). Sponsorships will cover costs for van rental(s), fuel, field trip hats, spiral-bound field guide printing costs, tips for the cooks and crew at the bed-n-breakfast. We might also refund the field school fee for all if we have enough sponsor funds.

Day Trips are also available to members and non-members. You will still need to pay the “mandatory trip fee” to be covered by insurance.

Thank you to our current Stillman Lake Sponsors!

Thank you to our current Granite Creek Sponsors!
