Hassayampa Nature Park - Wickenburg AZ




The DBG TEEN group has offered to help The Nature Conservancy plan and design their Community Nature Park on their newly aquired 33 acres. The TEENS started with conducting a plant survey, including all native and non-native plants. They are taking samples, putting them in a press, writing descriptions, plant names and taking location readings with a GPS. This will be done over two weekends. They will then brainstorm ideas for possible nature discovery stations, interpretive signage, and actually design the park with the hiking trails, horse trails, restrooms, and a entry kiosk. They are working hard on this project, so stay posted for updates and more detailed information soon.
