Park Neighbors

People often ask Saguaro National Park “how can I be a good neighbor to the park,” or “what are some ways I can support conservation efforts at home?”

You do not need to live next to the park boundary to be a good neighbor! Practicing stewardship in any area of town contributes to the goal of preserving the Sonoran Desert and improving our community.

This page will provide answers to some popular questions and resources to learn more about stewardship in our community.
