Bikes need to be in condition and ready to ride. Helmets are required. Our rides are social, not competitive, with distances determined by the leader and depending on who shows up. If you are not yet on the mountain bike list, please send an email to Suzanne Milligan at suzanne.milligan@yahoo.com.

Ironwood Forest Cleanup & Restoration Day
2026-04-18 08:00 - 12:00
Volunteers play a vital role in supporting the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) through a wide range of hands-on conservation projects. Activities may include habitat restoration, trail improvement, sign installation, vegetation and trash removal, fencing, and invasive species management—primarily targeting buffelgrass.
On a typical workday, volunteers meet with BLM staff in the morning and travel together to the designated project site. The BLM provides all necessary tools and safety equipment. Volunteers usually work until around noon, then break for lunch or head out for the day.
In addition to getting some exercise, volunteers are rewarded with sweeping desert views and the chance to experience Sonoran Desert plants and wildlife up close. Projects take place in stunning locations such as Ragged Top, the Waterman and Silverbell Mountains, the Samaniego Hills, Cocoraque Butte, El Cerrito de Represso, and many other unique landscapes—making each workday both educational and enjoyable.
For more information, to sign up, or to be added to the mailing list for future projects, please email board member, John Holzemer.
