“The Arboretum Rocks!” – a guided walking tour of the Boyce Thompson Arboretum- takes place the fourth Saturday of every month. Led by Ben Henderson, a Resolution Copper geologist, or Professor Steve Semken from ASU, participants learn about the rocks found at the arboretum as well as hear a summary of the geologic history of Arizona.
The primary focus of the walk is the rocks from the Superstition Mountains to the Pinal Mountains. In addition, information on the geologic history of 
Arizona that created the state’s great mineral wealth and brought about a legacy of mining is available.
The tour lasts from 1-2 hours, and questions are welcome. Participants are encouraged to bring rocks from their own collection for identification by the tour guide.
For more information please contact the Boyce Thompson Arboretum event line 520.689.2811 or visit their website.

In an April 2010 letter to the Committee on Natural Resources, the Inter Tribal Council of Arizona (ITCA) expressed opposition to S. 409 and H.R. 4880. Resolution Copper has responded to the issues raised by the ITCA that we believe warrant correction and clarification.
On April 22nd Arizona Trail Association sponsored an Earth Day event for grade K-6 John F. Kennedy Elementary students at the Picket Post Trailhead near Superior. The beautiful backdrop of Picket Post Mountain and the great weather made for a wonderful event. In all, 247 students, 14 teachers and several parents were treated to trail hikes, wildlife and environmental displays and presentations by several local groups and businesses. Making a brief appearance at the event was the ever popular “Smokey the Bear.”
Resolution Copper geologist Ben Henderson, hosted a geology display complete with rocks, posters and a sample of everyday products created using the earth’s natural resources. The display, along with Ben’s presentation on the geology surrounding Superior, proved to be quite popular with students of all ages. Of particular interest to students were Ben’s comments on Picket Post and its volcanic history. Following each presentation students received a Resolution Copper “goodie” bag containing a water bottle, bookmarker, pencils and literature.
