The Northern Arizona Audubon Society (NAAS) is sponsoring a trail workday at the Bubbling Ponds Preserve, located at the Bubbling Ponds Fish Hatchery.
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 and 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 270 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. No registration is required for the workday but if you let me know you are coming it will help with preparations.
Hope to see you there! Hey - fresh air, sunshine, a beautiful spot full of birds, great people - what more could you ask for!
Please Note: The Parking lot can get full on nice days so consider carpooling if you know others who are coming. If the lot is full we will have some folks park down in front of the Up the Creek Restaurant marked as Overflow Parking on the 2 nd map.
