Summary
The U.S. Forest Service wants to keep 990 acres of the Tonto National Forest in Arizona protected from mining for another 20 years to save the special Diamond Rim Quartz Crystal area. This means no new mining claims can be made there until at least 2046. People have until April 3, 2025, to share their thoughts or ask for a public meeting about this plan.
