Here at the Desert Museum we want to help you find opportunities to help save our saguaros, while also learning about the Sonoran Desert and having fun while you do it!

怎样去: 如果你对志愿服务感兴趣, 报名做志愿者 and you’ll be taken to a list of action events across the region. If you’d like to host an invasive plant pull in your own neighborhood, 你最喜欢的公园, 或其他地方, 注册网站, and it will be added to our list of sites for 志愿者 to choose from.

索诺兰沙漠除草者

The 索诺兰沙漠除草者 were organized in September 2000 by a group of dedicated 志愿者 who recognized the substantial threat of exotic weeds to the Sonoran Desert. As one of the longest running volunteer organizations dedicated to weed removal in 图森, the 索诺兰沙漠除草者 have cleared thousands of acres of buffelgrass in 图森 Mountain Park. Their continued success is evidenced by the relatively buffelgrass-free slopes and washes within the 图森 Mountains. 志愿者 events occur every second and fourth Wednesday, 每月第三个星期六, 一年到头. 除草者是由皮马县支持的, 亚利桑那-索诺拉世界杯app软件推荐, 以及亚利桑那本土植物协会, all of whom have provided ample resources throughout the years.

萨瓜罗国家公园

The park began hosting regular group buffelgrass pulls (now called "buffelgrass parties") in October, 2007. Park staff hike new and returning 志愿者 to patches of buffelgrass and provide training and supervision in safely digging up buffelgrass, fountaingrass, 以及其他入侵的草. 活动通常持续4个小时左右. 多年来, 2022世界杯下注已经清除了离道路最近的地块, so now it usually takes about 30-45 minutes to reach the patches. At least some of the hiking is off-trail, and terrain can be steep and rocky. We have multiple buffelgrass parties each month from October to March, and sometimes in April. 公园提供工具和手套.

Become a "Saguaro Steward" with a more significant commitment:
With experience and training, people can sign up to become 杂草 Free Trail 志愿者. These 志愿者 hike trails within the park and remove our priority invasive plants, which include invasive grasses as well as some winter annual herbaceous plants. 杂草 Free Trail 志愿者 work on their own schedule and as often as they want, and they can coordinate with other 志愿者 about which areas have been recently covered or need to be covered.

A brand new volunteer program was officially kicked off in January, 2022. Adopt-an-Area 志愿者 have similar training as 杂草 Free Trail 志愿者, 同样是独立运作的. 志愿者s work with park staff to select areas to adopt, picking places and terrain of their liking. 他们按照自己的时间表工作,只要他们愿意.

Both 杂草 Free Trail 志愿者 and Adopt-an-Area 志愿者 can recruit friends and family to help them, and the volunteer supervises them to ensure they are killing invasive plants, 而不是本地植物.
