Oak Flat, Arizona

Arizona’s last wetland

On top of the biggest untapped copper bodies in the country

As of 3.16.2026, this land, sacred to the Apache people, is now officially owned by Resolution Copper They plan to use a method called “block cave mining” which would turn Oak Flat into a two mile-wide crater 1000 feet deep.

3.13-3.15
 Oak Flat with Friends
Emplacement Society gathering

We bouldered, we relaxed, we roamed into the springs and canyons below the flats without trails. Alice said her skin looked like “an art project” after all the bushwacking. I said it was exfoliation: shrub spa

Jen taught us how to make string from the invasive buffel grass.

Joshua brought us the best snacks and more coffee.









1.22-1.24
