Individuals, groups, schools and organizations can plan and implement a re-vegetation project, preserve clean up or trail projects in conjunction with park rangers and staff. Most work projects include desert safety and tool awareness programs prior to participating in a work project. The program was developed to aid in the education and preservation of Phoenix mountain parks and preserves. Walking Wonders are Park Ranger-led hikes that provide participants with the opportunity to acquaint themselves with the Sonoran Desert and the rich history of South Mountain Preserve. Wednesday nights are the time to explore and learn about a variety of desert-related themes.
Lectures are about one and one half hours in length and the fees vary.
