At U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (YPG), every day is Earth Day. As a natural laboratory for testing virtually every piece of equipment in the U.S. Army’s ground combat arsenal, YPG has a vested interest in responsible ecological stewardship. Located within North America’s most diverse desert, the proving ground is home to a vast array of wildlife, including Sonoran pronghorn, desert tortoises and one of Arizona’s healthiest and most genetically diverse populations of bighorn sheep. More than a hundred unique bird species pass through or call YPG home.
To celebrate Earth Day 2023, YPG Environmental Sciences Division personnel got a hand from school children at YPG’s James D. Price Elementary School to plant a variety of Palo Verde, Ironwood, Honey Mesquite, and Desert Willow in one of the parks in YPG’s Howard Cantonment Area.
