Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests offices closed for Juneteenth federal holiday

SPRINGERVILLE, Ariz. – June 17, 2024 – The Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests Ranger District offices and the Supervisor’s Office will be closed Wednesday, June 19 for the Juneteenth federal holiday. Offices will resume regular business hours Thursday, June 20, 2024.

Legislation passed by Congress and signed by President Biden established Juneteenth as a federal holiday. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, Emancipation Day, and Jubilee Day, is an annual holiday celebrated on June 19. It commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. More specifically, it recognizes June 19, 1865, when Major General Gordon Granger, along with a unit of Union soldiers, arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce that all enslaved people were now free, 2.5 years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed.

The Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests is currently in Stage 1 Fire Restrictions. Go to the Alerts & Notices page on our website to learn more. If you plan to visit the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests over the holiday, Know Before You Go. Check the weather for the specific part of the forest you will be visiting. Remember to practice good campfire safety and respect your public lands by packing out your trash.

For questions, please contact the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests Supervisor’s Office at 928-333-6280, or visit our website at A-S National Forests and follow us on Facebook and X (Twitter).
