Home to a wide variety of animals, including the Sonoran pronghorn and one of the largest and most genetically diverse populations of bighorn sheep in Arizona, U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (YPG) helps sustain the creatures with 25 wildlife water drinkers situated across its mountains and desert range. This past winter, YPG personnel joined up with the Arizona Department of Game and Fish and dozens of volunteers to upgrade the massive tanks that store water for drinkers at two locations: one saw work done in January, the other in March.
“A lot of our volunteers come from groups like the Yuma Valley Rod and Gun Club and the Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep Society,” said Daniel Steward, YPG Wildlife Biologist (center). “We had various folks affiliated with other outdoor groups and a group of students from the Cibola High School Future Farmers of America. We had volunteers from a lot of different walks of life.”
