Local organizations are hosting two events in November in an effort to restore the Four Peaks Wilderness Area after it was damaged by a wildfire in 2020.
The events, in partnership with several other organizations, are being held as part of Four Peaks Brewing Company's "Peaks and Parks" campaign.
The events, both of which will be held at the Four Peaks Wilderness Area, aim to restore the land after the 2020 Bush Fire. The wildfire burned over 190,000 acres and forced evacuations in the area.
Since then, there have been multiple efforts to restore the area, including November's events held in partnership with Natural Restorations, the U.S. Forest Service, Tonto National Forest, the National Forest Foundation, Friends of the Tonto National Forest, and Copperstate 4Wheelers.
