Adopt-A-Trail VolunteersBRN has adopted the Millville Historic Townsite and Rock Art Discovery Trail, a 1.8 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Sierra Vista, Arizona. This trail is a portion of the greater San Pedro Riparian National Conservation Area (SPRNCA) trail system.
In 2019, the area Bureau of Land Management (BLM) office put out a request to the public asking for help to maintain some of the 28 miles of trails at the SPRNCA to help keep them open to the general public. BRN is seeking volunteers who could join us a couple times a year to help maintain this trail. Duties include some mowing, and cutting back limbs and obstructions from around the trail. Volunteer sessions will be set-up at the conclusion of monsoon season in the fall and in the spring during the morning hours. Volunteers must wear close toed shoes, long pants and be able to provide their own loppers for trimming back limbs. Join our adopt-a-trail team and help keep the San Pedro and this especially historical trail open and in great shape for all to enjoy! Next trail dates: Spring 2021! Check back for dates or contact us to get on the list to be notified when dates are selected. Contact Sarah Taylor with questions and to sign-up! |

Agave Mapping VolunteersNow accepting volunteers for Agave palmeri surveys. Help us identify and observe populations of Agave palmeri in southern Arizona. These mapping efforts will create a baseline for Agave palmeri population health as part of our Bacanora for Bats project funded through the Salazar Center's Connectivity Challenge.
Our lead mapping scientist, Erin Riordan, will analyze previous mapping efforts and distribution modeling to highlight regions of key agave population importance. Volunteers will help with both counts, as well as identification of juvenile agaves to assign health of a population through visible succession of the species if there are seedlings and pups found in each population. Agave palmeri is a diverse agave species that comes in many sizes, but is characterized by its long, thin leaves, cold hardiness, and late summer bloom time, making them ideal for nectar feeding bats on their return trip to Mexico from saguaro land. They are also the most common agave found in the mid-elevation grasslands of southern Arizona and northern Sonora. |
