The Cleanup:

Join Keep Nature Wild at South Mountain for our 3rd Annual Arizona Birthday Cleanup. Arizona turns 108 the day before and there's no better gift we could think to give our beautiful home state than to keep it clean! We've partnered with Arizona Highways for this cleanup.

We are also hosting a Clothing Drive benefiting the Arizona House of Refuge - a non-profit that provides transitional housing and wraparound services to homeless families. We encourage each family/group/or individual to bring up to 1 bag full of gently used or new clothing to donate - adult and children's clothing, shoes and socks are accepted! Here's an opportunity to give some of your gently used clothing another purpose.

We will be meeting at the parking lot by the Activity Center and cleaning in and around the Activity Center, the trailheads, and Scorpion Gulch. Look for the KNW Cleanup signs.
