Wild Arizona

A significant part of what we do at Wild Arizona is working to restore wild places through our Wilderness Stewardship - aka Wild Stew!

Wild Stew aims to provide Arizona’s communities and volunteers with in-depth training, resources, and logistical support in order to protect and restore Arizona’s public lands. We also aim to cultivate land stewardship, appreciation for wild places, deeper ecological understanding, and advocacy, by providing opportunities for positive experiences in the natural world. With appreciation for Arizona’s wildlands and waters, we make tangible contributions to enhance the integrity and ecological condition of Arizona’s wild places by maintaining hiking trails, restoring riparian habitats and removing invasive plants, inventorying and monitoring Wilderness and potential Wilderness areas, and more!
