Join park rangers at Montezuma Well on Monday, January 15^th from 10am – 3pm for Martin Luther King Day. To honor Dr. King, many organizations around the country are offering opportunities to serve others.

Rangers at Montezuma Well need help with:

• Weeding & tilling the traditional use & pollinator gardens
• Creating native seeds balls
• Cleaning out irrigation ditches
• Removing invasive plants (like pesky Johnson grass and Russian thistle)
• Trail maintenance (raking mulch, clearing debris, trimming branches)

Participants will also learn about native plants and their cultural uses.

We will provide extra water and tools, but please bring a water bottle, wear sturdy shoes, work clothes, a hat, and gloves if you have them. We will be offering free lunch!
