Volunteers join us at Black Canyon Heritage Park (BCHP) for our work days – generally one in Spring to celebrate Earth Day and another in the fall to celebrate National Public Lands Day. Desert Botanical Garden provides butterfly friendly plants for our Monarch Waystation. Trees for Needs often provides us trees as we see a need. We have tools, water, and snacks; volunteers that come with lots of enthusiasm; some bring their own tools (no power tools) and expertise.
Our Work Day, October 18, 2025, has been cancelled. We post the new fall date soon.
Typical Volunteer tasks included:
- Planting of various types and sizes of plants
- Removal of unwanted plant and invasive plants such as Buffelgrass, Tamerisk, and Globe Chamomile (stinknet)
- Removal of brush litter from various parts of the park.
- Clearing the accessible trail of bushes and branches extending into the trail area.
- Weed whacking near the pond.
