Join the Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC) and Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department for a community planting event on Friday, November 3rd, 2023! Attendees will plant native plants for pollinators, trees, and shrubs to support the County’s shade and canopy goals at Estrella Mountain Regional Park. This project is partially funded through the Rio Reimagined Healthy Urban River Ecosystems grant, funded by the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management. Additional funding provided by Arizona Forward.

Please wear attire appropriate for an outdoor setting. All tools and instruction provided. Signage will point you from the parking area to the event site.

Directions for event day volunteers to avoid traffic at Phoenix Raceway (racing that weekend):

Immediately after the bridge, turn left (east) on Vineyard.

Turn right (south) on second right (just past the golf course turn) on Casey Abbott Road at the main Estrella Park entry.
