Using crayons and colored pencils, students from Pine Forest Charter School and Knoles Elementary School in Flagstaff drew pictures thanking Kaibab National Forest Supervisor Heather Provencio for protecting the Grand Canyon.
This March, Provencio rejected the town of Tusayan's application to build a road across public lands near the South Rim. The road would have paved the way for a mega-resort at the doorstep of America's crown jewel national park, threatening over-tapped water sources, wildlife habitat, and other natural and cultural resources on adjacent public lands.
