Trail Work Day at Bubbling Ponds on Sunday April 16th from 8AM to 11AM
The Northern Arizona Audubon Society (NAAS) will sponsor a trail workday at the Bubbling Ponds Preserve on Sunday April 16th from 8AM to 11AM.
Bubbling Ponds Preserve is a cooperative effort between NAAS and Arizona Game and Fish Department. We need to do our part to maintain it. Please consider spending a few hours helping to spruce up this important birding hotspot.
We will mulch and make minor repairs to the trails. Please bring work gloves, water, and a hat - sunscreen is recommended. We have plenty of shovels, but if you have a rake, pitchfork or wheelbarrow that you could bring that would be useful. Please make sure your name is on any tools and gloves that you bring.
The Preserve lies within a National Audubon recognized Important Bird Area and is one of the most popular birding hotspots in the Verde Valley/Sedona area with over 150 species listed on eBird. It is located at the Bubbling Ponds Fish Hatchery on Page Springs Road.
For more information on the workday contact Rob Gibbs at robgibbs54@gmail.com. It is not necessary to register for the workday but if you want to let me know you are coming it would help with preparations.
Hope to see you there! Hey - fresh air, sunshine, a beautiful spot full of birds- what more could you ask for!
