Adopt a Highway: Starlight Pines Homeowners Association celebrates 32 years of volunteerismFifty-three Starlight Pines residents gathered to celebrate 32 years of engaged participation in the Adopt a Highway Volunteer program at a community meeting held Saturday, Oct. 8. The community is located in Happy Jack between Payson and Winslow on State Route 87.
Erwin said, “We are very proud of living in Starlight Pines and want to make sure that people who drive through see a clean highway, so they will know that we care about our community and our state.” Currie said, “This is such an important group of individuals that give of themselves year over year. And they continue the momentum of volunteerism so well by organizing and announcing community cleanup events.”
Joel Harris, a retired Phoenix firefighter, remembers when his parents moved to Starlight and were part of the original founders of this volunteer effort. Harris says they fell in love with the surroundings and became active in preserving the community. Why is littering such a big deal? Harris said, “It destroys the natural beauty of the forest, it is unhealthy and it’s not good for the animals. We enjoy trying to keep this area clean and natural.
