Board of Directors

The McDowell Sonoran Conservancy is led by a volunteer Board of Directors, a small staff, and steward leaders.

Our work is implemented by hundreds of volunteers who help to provide public access to the Preserve, protect the Preserve through research and stewardship and increase the community’s understanding and appreciation of the Preserve through educational programs and community events.
