Monday, May 2, 2011 at 3:50PM Our new residents in the Village have found a home that was built by many of their neighbors! All fifteen of them live in a one-room house and all they have to eat is chicken feed!
Monday, April 4, 2011 at 6:15PM On Monday April 4, John Mangimeli, member of the Manzanita Village Homeowner’s Association Board of Directors, and Cheryl and Melvin Hill, members of the Village FireWise Committee, attended the Yavapai County Commissioners meeting in order to receive the Title 3 Forest Project Grant for 2011. Funds from this grant will be used to do fire fuels mitigation and develop the communities FireWise program. This project will decrease the fire potential of the Village ravine area in order to move the community toward a more FireWise model. We hope to not only mitigate the fire fields but also enhance groundwater penetration and provide a healthier environment for both the plants and animals living in this area. This project could also become part of the larger effort on the part of Manzanita Village to become known as an exemplary neighborhood that is a good steward of our natural resources.
