Roper Lake is a state park here in Safford Arizona. It is a nice place to camp, fish, swim, have picnics and spend time together. I have many memories here when I was growing up. Unfortunately it is going to be shut down due to lack of funding. A lot of people are trying to help clean it up and raise money in an effort to save it. For this field trip my class drove to Roper Lake to see what we could do to help. There was a pipe that was clogged with a build up of trees and dirt so my class was assigned to remove the trees into a burn pile and spread out the dirt. Just like the erosion dam it didnt take much time at all. We cleared the trees evened out the dirt and the pipe was unclogged in no time. It was only a small thing to help with but there is not many people on staff and by us doing this for them there staff could use the time to do other things to help save Roper Lake and we once again got the satisfaction of knowing we are helping a good cause!
