About this event

  • Event lasts 5 hours

    Registration on Event Brite is required to manage camping capacity and tools.

    Join Wild Arizona as we come together with the community to continue to improve the Bog Springs Trail #156 in the Santa Ritas. Work for the day will include brushing, fixing tread(surface) of the trail, building drains to help keep the trail intact, and more! Help us make it more accessible for hikers and nature enthusiasts alike! No experience necessary. ALL ARE WELCOME!

    Sunday, we will meet at 31.72693, -110.88035 at 7 a.m.. Because there is limited parking at the trailhead, we will carpool after everyone has arrived. Work will begin after a brief safety meeting and the work day will end at 12p.m., unless temperatures become uncomfortable.

    Bog Springs Trail #156 is less than two miles, with about 800-900 feet of elevation gain.

    To learn more about the trail: Bog Springs Trail #156

    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!
