Conservancy donors funded the construction of a new rim-side amphitheatre for ranger programs. The amphitheatre was dedicated October 25, 2010 The amphitheatre was built using native limestone and provides seating overlooking Colorado River, Zoroaster Temple, and Bright Angel Canyon. A medallion was carved into the stone walkway that leads to the rim and Mather Point. A large circular shape, the medallion contains the name and symbols that represent 11 tribes. In addition to Mather Point, the South Entrance Road was realigned, a bus transit center was built, and additional parking for private and commercial vehicles was added. Greenhouse Grand Canyon National Park is committed to maintaining a native habitat for our vegetation, wildlife, endangered species, and water resources. Project included supporter-funded construction of a high-capacity, energy-efficient greenhouse After construction, the park’s vegetation crews can now grow double the number of plants to support ecology restoration projects at the rim and along the river Supporters and volunteers continue to assist with greenhouse operations by gathering seeds and cuttings and helping to maintain native habitat throughout the park. A Grand Vision Campaign A Grand Vision is Grand Canyon Conservancy and National Park Services' strategic vision for improvements at the park. The campaign will celebrate Grand Canyon's Centennial in 2019. The projects listed below are the priorities of the campaign. Grand Canyon Trail Restoration Supporter funded trail restoration has been an ongoing priority for Grand Canyon Conservancy, already completely restoring multiple trails. Completed restoration efforts include: Clear Creek Trail, built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps so visitors at Phantom Ranch could hike scenic side canyons, which has been stabilized for improved hiker safety and enjoyment Grandview Trail, built in the late 1880s to haul raw ore to the canyon rim, where overgrown vegetation was removed, and historic stonework was rebuilt. Hermit Trail, where trail crews recently completed work on upper portions of the trail. Because trail restoration is so challenging, it’s estimated that a single mile of trail restoration work costs $250,000. Mules haul equipment and materials to work sites and often the trail crews only tools are pickaxes and shovels. A Grand Vision Campaign hopes to establish a Trails Forever endowment which will support a full season of Youth Conservation Corps workers dedicated to trail restoration and will allow the park to plan a comprehensive program for trail restoration.
