Fuelwood permits available for portions of Mt. Lemmon - Coronado National Forest: "Fuelwood permits for portions of Mt. Lemmon, located on the Santa Catalina Ranger District of the Coronado National Forest, will be available for sale November 3 to December 15, 2014 at the Ranger District Office, 5700 N. Sabino Canyon Road in Tucson." - more details in the press release.

More private shrines appearing on S. Arizona forest lands - Douglas Kreutz, Arizona Daily Star: An article about shrines on public lands including a picture of a private shrine just below the Babad Do'ag vista. While it may be an emotional issue the heart of the article is probably this quote from Heidi Schewel - Coronado National Forest Communications Staff Officer - “From a regulatory standpoint such personal memorials would be considered abandonment of personal property, which is prohibited,”
