Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Saturday, July 26, 2025. We’re waking up to fresh mountain air and celebrating one of the wettest Julys in recent memory. After a dry winter, Flagstaff received more than two inches of rain this month, bringing much-needed relief to our forests and a vibrant burst of green all around town. This isn’t just great for your backyard garden—it’s crucial for wildfire prevention, and right now, there’s some big action on that front. The National Forest Foundation and local partners are kicking off boots-on-the-ground work on the Derffer Project, restoring over two thousand acres near town to help reduce future wildfire risk and protect our trails and communities for years to come.If you’re feeling inspired by all this nature news, Flagstaff Biking Organization is inviting everyone out this morning for FBO Trail Day on the Arizona National Scenic Trail.
