This project involved the redevelopment of a water catchment system to improve water availability for bighorn sheep in the Marquetta Pass area.
These catchment projects focused on enhancing water infrastructure at North Gila and Sheep Mountain to support the herds by increasing reliable water access in those regions.
This project involved the redevelopment of a water catchment system to improve water availability for bighorn sheep in the Marquetta Pass area.
For over five decades, ADBSS has led hundreds of successful habitat projects — from waterhole development to transplants — ensuring the survival of bighorn sheep across Arizona’s deserts and mountains.
In the arid expanse of Arizona’s Harcuvar Mountains, hunter-conservationists have partnered to expand the range’s capacity for desert bighorn sheep. Spearheaded by the Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep Society (ADBSS) and fueled by a $40,394 Grant-In-Aid from the Wild Sheep Foundation (WSF), the Rinehart-Newlon Water Catchment project stands as a powerful example of what partnerships and passionate volunteers can accomplish.
Your support fuels water projects, sheep transplants, and education that keep bighorn herds thriving across Arizona’s mountains and deserts.
