The City of Scottsdale partners with the private, non-profit organization McDowell Sonoran Conservancy, which provides stewards for the preserve, educational programs, and hikes.
Volunteer opportunities in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve cover a wide range of activities - almost all of which are outdoors in the Preserve itself. Projects such as cactus salvage and revegetation, mitigation of damaged or scarred areas within the Preserve, trail maintenance and sometimes minor trail construction, trash and litter pick-up and removal, invasive weed removal, natural habitat improvement, sign and fence installation, to name a few of the categories. Projects are completed in groups, most of which are trained, experienced Preserve volunteers.
Preserve staff provide all tools, materials and training to do the work - we just ask that you bring a good pair of work gloves, a water bottle (we have water for refills) and good, sturdy, closed toed shoes or hiking boots. Dress appropriate to weather conditions and work assignment.
