Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve Volunteer Work Days If you dream about making a difference, enjoy learning about nature and want to help protect your local natural areas, then Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve wants you.
As a volunteer with The Nature Conservancy's Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve, you'll learn about the diversity of life in southern Arizona while sharing your skills and enthusiasm with staff, volunteers, and guests at the preserve. The preserve is looking for dedicated people to join the team. Volunteers will work in a variety of program areas including restoration, interpretation, trail maintenance, and as greeters in the visitor center.
Plant Monitoring at Empire Ranch: May 2009 The Nature Conservancy and Bureau of Land Management are going to be doing plant monitoring at Empire Ranch (on Hwy 83 southeast of Tucson near Sonoita) on May 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 26, 27 and your help is needed. Grasses will be monitored and recorded, mesquite trees measured, etc. Some volunteers will record data as others collect data. Some of the sites are close to a road (1/4 mi or less). There is usually 1/4 - 1/2 mile of cumulative walking while recording data on the actual plots.
If leaving from Tucson we will meet at The Nature Conservancy, 1510 E. Ft. Lowell Rd. in Tucson, ready to leave at 7 a.m. Transportation will be provided. Work should end in time to be back to the Conservancy by 5:30-6:00 p.m. For those living in other areas you will be put in contact with others volunteering to arrange carpooling details.
Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Prepare for the sun with sun screen, hat, water. Bring a sack lunch and snacks.
