Save to Favorites

Join Natural Restorations as we team up with Pinal County Open Spaces & Trails for a Peralta Road Cleanup.

Everyone is welcome, including youth volunteers when they are accompanied & supervised by a parent, guardian, or adult group leader. We would be happy to sign off on service hours or provide a Confirmation of Volunteer Service letter for youth volunteers.

Sign-in: 7:30-8:00 a.m. | Safety Briefing: 8 a.m. | Cleanup starts: after safety briefing | Cleanup ends at 11 a.m. unless we finish sooner

Please arrive before the safety briefing so you have a few minutes to get signed in before it starts.

Directions: If you are heading east on the US-60, make a left on Peralta Road and follow it to the end of the pavement. Continue driving on the dirt road until you arrive a the stating area. Look for Natural Restorations Volunteer Event signs. When you arrive, park and walk over to the sign-in table located under the green Natural Restorations shade canopy to sign in. Plan your route ahead of time in case we are in a spot where we can’t get cell signal.

Volunteers with OHV’s & 4x4’s: f you have an OHV or 4X4, we need your help exploring all of the trails, picking up scattered trash along the way.

Non OHV/4X4 Volunteers: You do not need an OHV (off-highway vehicle)or 4x4 to participate, the dirt road to the sign-in table in is graded and well maintained. We need volunteers interested in walking along the road picking up trash, a group of volunteers interested in following Justin from Nautral Restorations down the road to a couple of other dump piles behind the Arizonian, and a group of volunteers to pull old fence posts and homemade signs along the road.

We will have a designated 40-yard dumpster for everyone to put their trash in so we can get an accurate weight of the amount of trash everyone helped remove.

What to wear: Check the forecast & dress accordingly. It will likely be chilly in the morning and warming up as you start moving, we recommend wearing layers. Please wear clothing & shoes that can get dirty, possibly muddy if it rains. Wear long pants, thick-sole & closed toe sturdy shoes (no flipflops/sandals), a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen.

What to bring: please bring a reusable water bottle or hydration backpack. We will have coolers with water & ice for you to refill and bottled water if anyone needs it. We will provide gloves, bags, trash grabbers, buckets, & rakes. You will likely be near your vehicle the entire time so you could bring a small cooler with cold beverages if you'd like.

Snacks: We will have snacks for volunteers. If you have any dietary restrictions, you may want to bring your own snack.

Bathrooms: There are no bathroom services along Peralta Road. The nearest bathroom is at the Circle K at 7138 E U.S, HWY 60, Gold Canyon, AZ 85118

NR Merch: We will also have Natural Restorations branded t-shirts, hats, stickers, & Tru Flasks available for a donation. Natural Restorations is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Gilbert, Arizona. 100% of the proceeds go back into our Restoration Programs.

Youth Groups: If you need youth registration paperwork ahead of time for parent/guardian signatures, please email us at contact@naturalrestorations.org and we will send them to you.
