Volunteer Workdays at Ironwood Forest National Monument
Work days are planned and coordinated with the BLM from October through April. Volunteers assist the BLM in varied tasks such as restoration, trail improvement, sign installation, vegetation clean-up, fencing, trash clean-up, and invasive species management (primarily buffelgrass).
On a typical day, volunteers join BLM staff early in the day and head out to the chosen work site. The BLM provides the necessary tools and safety equipment. Volunteers stay busy until “noon-ish” and break for lunch or depart. Besides getting a little exercise while working, volunteers enjoy the sweeping vistas, desert plants, and animals within the beautiful and enchanting Sonoran Desert environment. Working around Ragged Top, Waterman and Silverbell Mountains, the Samaniego Hills, Cocoraque Butte, El Cerrito de Represso, and many other areas is very enjoyable and educational!
