Open Space Commission notes PROS staffing changes and Arbor Day events

Flagstaff Open Space Commission · August 25, 2026

Summary

Commissioners congratulated Robert on his promotion to open-space manager and discussed Arbor Day planting and volunteer events at Picture Canyon; staff described volunteer logistics and upcoming trail closures for thinning work.

Commissioners congratulated Robert on his promotion to open-space manager and noted staffing changes in the PROS division, including converting an education-specialist role to a permanent, full-time position. A commissioner said, “congratulate Robert on becoming our open space manager for the city of Flagstaff,” recognizing internal reorganization that officials said completes the PROS leadership team.

Staff announced Arbor Day activities scheduled for the next day (planting trees and building enclosures at Picture Canyon) and an Arbor Day proclamation at the City Council. Staff asked commissioners to fill out volunteer waiver forms for field participation and noted other upcoming events including a full‑moon hike and an invasive-weed pull. They also flagged an upcoming temporary closure of a Foothills Trail section for thinning work.

Next steps: commissioners were asked to help staff with outreach and to attend or promote Arbor Day and other volunteer events where possible; staff will finalize volunteer logistics and trail-closure notices.
