Friends of San Pedro Valley Park

We are dedicated to the preservation and enjoyment of San Pedro Valley County Park and natural history education.

The Friends of San Pedro Valley Park is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization (a 501(c)(3) public benefit corporation) founded in 1983 that is funded 100% by membership dues, donations and sales proceeds. New members are always welcome.

We are a diverse group of individuals brought together by our love of nature and our concern for the park. Working for the benefit of all users of San Pedro Valley Park, the Friends play a significant role in supporting the park staff in their activities and in interpreting the park’s resources to the public. Perhaps you have seen us staffing the Visitor Center reception desk, or you have visited our well-stocked Trailside Store, browsed the books in our reference library, read our bi-monthly newsletter, or appreciated our maintenance and repair handiwork on the trails and in the Native Plant Garden.

An enjoyable and informative series of monthly natural talks presented at the Visitor Center is also arranged and sponsored by the Friends of San Pedro Valley Park. These popular talks are continuing to be presented to the membership and the general public, typically using a Zoom webinar format.

Information on the Friends is also available at the Visitor Center when you visit the park on weekends (open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 am to 4 pm).
