Protecting Natural Open Space

Stewardship Opportunities

Volunteers founded the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy in 1991, and stewards continue to be the lifeblood of the organization. The incredible work the Conservancy does today could not be done without our stewards, who support our mission while benefiting from exceptional educational, social, and fitness opportunities.

To become a steward, you would complete an orientation class and additional training that totals between 20 and 25 hours of volunteering. If you’re interested in our robust stewardship program, please read about the expectations and opportunities on this page and then click the link to Become a Steward.

Stewardship is a Choice

Conservancy volunteer activities are organized into various programs. The tabs below describe what each program does and what it needs from stewards.

Looking for a Different Level of Commitment?

We understand the demands on time and schedules, and being a steward may not fit into your plans at this time. Our community volunteers offer a different level of commitment.
