Tortolita Preserve (TP)-Western Fence Project-North Section
TP Western Fence Project Complete
Marana has completed the Western Fence Project. Marana Parks & Recreation (MPR) has taken steps to discourage Off Road Vehicle (OHV) access and placed signs at all the fence-wash crossings warning OHVs not to enter. Marana will be reaching out to the two local OHV associations that have worked with us so well over the years to alert their members of the new fencing. This project will also prevent cattle from entering. The entire 2,400 acres is now protected and safer.
