Bird Walks at the Sierra Vista Environmental Operations Park 

The Sierra Vista Environmental Operations Park (EOP), also known as the waste water treatment plant, is open for bird walks each Sunday morning. The walks take about 2 hours and are led by docents from Southeastern Arizona Bird Observatory (SABO), Huachuca Audubon Society (HAS), and the Friends of the San Pedro River (FSPR).  The EOP is a 50-acre wetlands planted with aquatic plants, including cattails, and grasses that attract migrating and nesting birds.


Tours are restricted to 22 persons (including docents) on a first-come, first-served basis. The walks begin Sundays at 8:00am and depart from the viewing platform inside the EOP. The entrance is located on Highway 90 between mileage markers 324 and 325 on the north side of the highway. All tours are FREE, although donations are accepted. Dress appropriately for the weather, bring drinking water, wear trail shoes, a hat, and use sun protection. For more information, call (520) 459-2555 or visit www.sanpedroriver.org
