Clean-Up Days
Volunteers like you are needed to help "refresh" the park by removing trash and unwanted debris. Trash bags, hand-operated tools to pick-up trash, and other materials will be provided. Please bring your own gloves; we will have a very limited supply on hand.

Invasive Species Removal Days
Maricopa County needs volunteers like you!
Help locate and remove invasive species from the Park. This is a hands-on activity. Be prepared to pull them out, bag them, and ensure these unwelcome species don't come back or spread.
In June, 40+ volunteers learned how to map invasive species using the new Maricopa County Parks Desert Defenders Field mobile app. Together, we removed approximately 59,000 invasive plants from 34-acres of land within four parks. The native plants and varied desert dwellers of our parks appreciate your hard work!
• White Tank Mountain Regional Park: 7.74 acres and 24,417 Sahara Mustard plants
• Cave Creek Regional Park: Two acres and 23,500 Stinknet plants
• Estrella Mountain Regional Park: 0.5 acres and 6,000 Sahara Mustard plants
• Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area: 23.47 acres and 5,098 plants -- Sahara Mustard, Stinknet, and Fountain Grass
