Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Native Plant Hike
April 17, 2025 @ 9:30 am - 11:00 am
Free with Park Fee
April is Native Plant Month, and we are excited to give our native plants a little love. Come along and find out what makes our cactus, tree and shrub species so special. Plus, we’ll talk about why using native plants in your front-or-backyard landscape is a great idea. We’ll be hiking about 2.3 miles in total, and trails are rated easy-moderate, with some loose rock, uneven terrain, and elevation change. Please wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes and bring plenty of water. Hats and sunscreen are also highly recommended. Restrooms and water are available at the Nature Center. NO pets, please.
MEETING LOCATION: Gila Trailhead
Limit 20 participants. To register, please call the Nature Center at (602) 506-2930 ext. 6. If you find you cannot attend a program after you have registered, please call the Nature Center ASAP so we may contact those on the waiting list. Registration for this program will close on 4/15.
