Bird Walks at the Sierra Vista Environmental Operations Park
The Sierra Vista Environmental Operations Park (EOP), also known as the wastewater 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 and the Friends of the San Pedro River. The EOP is a 50-acre wetlands area planted with aquatic plants, including cattails, and grasses that attract migrating and nesting birds.
Tours are restricted to 15 persons (including docents) on a first-come, first-served basis. The walks depart from the viewing platform inside the EOP. Dress appropriately for the weather, bring drinking water, wear trail shoes, a hat, and sun protection. All walks are free. For more information, call (520) 508-4445 or visit www.sanpedroriver.org.
