The Tonto National Forest contains a significant portion of the core breeding areas for the bald eagle in Arizona along portions of the Salt and Verde rivers within the Forest. Through management and protection of these bald eagle nesting areas, the Tonto National Forest has contributed to the recovery of the bald eagle since the species was listed in 1967. The Forest has promoted protection and enhancement of the species and its habitat by restricting land management activities, maintaining "No Entry" areas around bald eagle nests, initiating and supporting the "Bald Eagle Nestwatch".
The purpose of this Order is the protection of National Forest visitors, employees and cooperators involved in volunteer revegetation projects in the restricted area, where the indiscriminate discharge of a firearm is likely to pose a substantial risk to public safety.
The purpose of this Order is the protection of National Forest visitors and employees, the conservation of natural resources, and the protection of property belonging to the United States.
