San Pedro River Walks

Join docents from the Friends of the San Pedro River on interpretive walks along the river August 2 and 9, 2008. The walks depart from the San Pedro House near Sierra Vista at 8:00am.

 The San Pedro River features some of the richest wildlife habitat in the United States.  Here you’ll find 82 species of mammals, dozens of reptiles and amphibians and nearly 350 species of birds.  It is the last free flowing river in the Southwest and has been designated one of the Last Great Places by the Nature Conservancy.  

There is no charge for the walks, however donations are accepted to support the docent programs. Dress appropriately for the weather, bring drinking water and use sun protection.
