Conservation, Preservation, & Information
We can't expect the beauty around us to stay that way if we don't take care of it. We recommend connecting with these groups and organizations to stay informed with conservation efforts, volunteer opportunities, and to learn more about our beautiful surroundings.
"The Verde River is one of Arizona’s few remaining flowing rivers. The river and its tributaries, such as Granite Creek, Sycamore Creek, Oak Creek, and Fossil Creek, provide lush corridors of life as they wind their way through beautiful, iconic, and arid landscapes. The Verde River system is an environmental and cultural treasure for local communities, the state of Arizona, and beyond. Friends of the Verde River envisions a healthy, flowing Verde River and tributaries that support our natural environment, vibrant communities, and quality of life for future generations. We work collaboratively for a healthy, flowing Verde River system. Visit VerdeRiver.org for more information."
Northern Arizona Audubon Society (NAAS) is a chapter within the larger National Audubon Society. We understand that our local bird and wildlife populations make the Sedona/Verde Valley a most unique and exciting region. Our mission statement directs us to advocate for sensible habitat conservation with regard for birding values. NAAS has been a resource for local birding and conservation information regarding species lists, bird preserves, current news, and much more since we were formed in 1978. Please learn about hot spot locations, local bird species, birding events and more at northernarizonaaudubon.org.
