Help Keep the Birds Fed at Dead Horse Ranch State Park

Type: Ongoing Volunteer Opportunity

Location: Dead Horse State Park, Cottonwood

Northern Arizona Audubon Society is looking for volunteers to help maintain the bird feeders at Dead Horse Ranch State Park.

For many years, dedicated volunteers Kelly and Skip Isley cared for the park’s feeders, creating wonderful birdwatching opportunities for wildlife and the thousands of visitors who enjoy this special place. We are grateful for their years of service and are looking for a team of volunteers to help continue this tradition.

Volunteers will help refill:

  • Seed feeders
  • Hummingbird feeders
  • Goldfinch feeders

By creating a small roster of volunteers, the commitment can remain manageable while ensuring birds continue to have access to supplemental food and visitors can enjoy excellent birdwatching opportunities.

This opportunity is ideal for someone who:

  • Lives near Cottonwood, Clarkdale, or the Verde Valley
  • Enjoys spending time outdoors
  • Wants a simple, meaningful way to support birds
  • Would enjoy a regular connection with one of Arizona’s favorite birding locations

Northern Arizona Audubon Society provides:

  • Park entry
  • Bird seed
  • Guidance and support

Volunteers who can prepare hummingbird nectar at home are especially appreciated, although store-bought nectar can also be provided.
