Responsible recreation begins with you - Pack it in, pack it out

SILVER CITY, NM, March 26, 2024 – The Gila National Forest is the traditional gathering place for local communities observing holidays all year long. As we approach Easter weekend, please recreate responsibly and care for this special place.
Cascarones (confetti-filled eggs) are a fun part of the Easter tradition. However, confetti does not belong in the forest. Confetti, made of thousands of tiny bits of paper, plastic, or metallic material, is notoriously difficult to clean up. In an outdoor setting, it catches on the wind and scatters in an instant. Ultimately, it is washed into streams, rivers, and the ocean, and animals have been known to eat it. In order to protect the Gila National Forest, its wildlife, and downstream resources, we respectfully ask you to leave the confetti at home.
For everything else you bring with you, please remember to do your part and pack it out. For more information contact Maribeth Pecotte at 575-388-8211 or Maribeth.Pecotte@usda.gov .
