Bird Watching Protocols
Under normal circumstances, bird watchers are welcome around the perimeter trail at the Pima County Kino Environmental Restoration Project (KERP). The trail is a multiuse, paved path that is available to the community for walking, bicycling, jogging, and wildlife viewing including bird watching.
A map of this perimeter trail (view) is highlighted in red.
Please obey all signs, safety protocols and staff directives when on site. Recorded bird calls are not permitted. In order to protect habitat value, access to any fenced area is prohibited except by prior agreement. Maintenance trails within the basin are not open to public access.
Audubon birding field trips sometimes visit KERP. For more information about birds and local birding field trips visit their website at www.tucsonaudubon.org or contact Tucson Audubon Society at 520-629-0510 or info@tucsonaudubon.org.
To schedule non-birding related tours at KERP or for other concerns, please contract John Madril, Pima County Stadium District at 434-1378 or john.madril@pima.gov .
