Volunteers for Outdoor Arizona

Lots of opportunities here!Volunteers for Outdoor Arizona
Here is a newly listed link in our Finding Volunteer and Stewardship Opportunities section.
VOAz seems to center their work mostly around Cave Creek, but check out examples like their project at Montezumas Well National Monument, only an hour from Flagstaff, or Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site, or even Hart Prairie Nature Preserve.

Right up our alley: They do noxious weed removal, trail restoration and damage repair, "social engineering" to discourage trail cutting, and stream or riparian restoration.
Visit them at a later time by going to the "Finding Volunteer and Stewardship Opportunities" section of our blog, or visit them now by clicking here for www.voaz.org/.
