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.

Field School participants (members and non-members) can join us for one or more days and AHS members can stay with us 1, 2, or 3 nights at the unique setting and accommodations of the Little Thumb Butte Bed & Breakfast. All attendees must pay the $75 field school fee to be covered by insurance, even if joining the trip for the day. At Little Thumb Butte, members can have a private single room to yourself or share with a friend, park your RV (water/sewer/electricity sites available!), pitch a tent, or have a sleeping cot ready for you in a large domed tent (a Shiftpod – see https://shiftpod.com for what this thing looks like)! 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.
