Milkweed Watering

Help water & monitor milkweed plants that are vital to monarch butterflies! We've planted milkweed plants at the Wildcat Trailhead/Staging Area and Rattlesnake Cove near Bartlett Lake and we need extra hands to help make sure they stay healthy.

You'll pick up water at the Tonto Hills Volunteer Fire Department and head out to the site. The milkweed plants are located along areas that are easily accessed by car. After watering, you'll return the water jugs to the Tonto Hills Volunteer Fire Department & refill the containers for the next volunteer.
