Ring in the New Year by lending a hand to Burrowing Owls! Audubon Arizona & Wild at Heart need your help constructing owl release tents and as a bonus, you will get to see owls placed inside these temporary homes.

Our partners had to reschedule this workday due to rain–and owls are filling Wild at Heart’s aviaries waiting to be re-homed. This event will be held along the Laveen Conveyance Channel (no street address) so all registrants will be emailed a detailed map and directions to the site prior to the workday.
