San Pedro River Walks

Join docents from the Friends of the San Pedro River on an interpretive walk along the river August 15 and August 22. 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. 

Birding Walks

The Sierra Vista Environmental Operations Park (EOP), also known as the waste water treatment plant, is open for bird walks each Sunday morning.

The walks take about 2 hours and are led by docents from Southeastern Arizona Bird Observatory (SABO), Huachuca Audubon Society (HAS) and the Friends of the San Pedro River (FSPR).

The next walks begin at 7 a.m. August 16 and August 23 and depart from the viewing platform inside the EOP. The entrance is located on SR 90 between mileage markers 324 and 325 on the north side of the highway. All tours are FREE, although SABO, HAS and FSPR all accept donations.

The walks are limited to 20 people and are filled on a first come, first served basis. Special walks for large groups and walks on days other than Sunday can be

arranged. Contact Southeastern Arizona Bird Observatory (SABO) at (520)
