Field Trips
Botanical Hikes: With the cooler weather in fall, we will start hosting hikes again. We will do a monthly
hike at a rotating location in the valley. We provide a field guide on local plants and magnification tools.
Please check the Events page on the AZNPS website for more details. Hikes are rated easy to moderate
and about 2.5 miles long.

Volunteer Opportunity
Once a month, in partnership with the Maricopa Native Seed Library, we will be building seed packets and packing them with native seeds. These seed packets are for the library to hand out to the community. All materials are provided; please check the Events page on the AZNPS website to see details. For more information, visit the seed library (https://libguides.maricopa.edu/seed).
Please reach out to phoenixaznps@gmail.com if you are interested in helping build educational content or leading a volunteer effort.
We are trying to collaborate with several other conservation groups in the valley and could always use more help.
