The New York Times Mentions Saguaro National Park

— Saguaro National Park: Performing a Vital Role in a Changed World —
The New York Times recently included **Saguaro National Park** on its **“52 Places for a Changed World”** list—highlighting destinations where travelers *can be part of the solution*, not the problem.

— Preserving Our Desert Giants —
Nestled on both the east and west sides of Tucson, Saguaro National Park is home to nearly 2 million majestic saguaro cacti—a keystone species vital for our desert ecosystem. These slow-growing giants, taking decades to form their first arm and centuries to reach full height, face a serious threat from buffelgrass, an invasive species that steals resources and fuels destructive wildfires.

— Be Part of the Solution —
The Times spotlighted community-driven conservation efforts, including group volunteer events to remove buffelgrass, and a new “Adopt-an-Area” program inviting individuals to steward a section of the park on their own schedule.

Want to help protect our saguaros and desert? Tap here to explore volunteer opportunities—from group pulls to visitor programs—and contribute to safeguarding this unique Sonoran landscape.

Stand tall, just like our saguaros. – Tony Ray 🌵
