For several years, Friends of Ironwood Forest has coordinated a volunteer event on NPLD where volunteers have gathered to clean up trash, remove old fencing, replace signage, replant vegetation, and more. This year Friends of Ironwood Forest is hosting a virtual visit to Ironwood Forest National Monument. Learn how volunteers work to protect and restore public lands. The guided virtual tour will include Q&A and is a rare chance to see this local treasure up close and personal from the comfort of your home.

The Ironwood Forest National Monument, located 25 miles northwest of Tucson, is recognized for its rugged scenery, biological diversity and cultural legacy. Its 129,000 acres contain several desert mountain ranges and a significant system of cultural and historic sites covering a 5,000-year period. The Monument is also home to threatened and endangered species. One of Arizona’s best kept secrets, the Ironwood Forest National Monument serves as a biological anchor point for conserving some of our rarest flora and fauna, extraordinary landscapes, and irreplaceable archeological treasures.
