What would you like to do?
Help maintain and enhance Scottsdale’s Scenic Drive. We conduct four or five, two-hours-long litter pickup events on Saturday mornings from September through May. We maintain the Scenic Drive’s plant exhibits and monuments. We advocate for the preservation of the Scenic Drive as an historic landmark. We need volunteers to help in these efforts.
Help with an event. We organize and run several events during the year. These have included our Summer Fun Photography and Write Stuff Contests (11 years), Cookout at the Ranch (16 years), Mystery Car Rally (2 years), and Scottsdale City Council Candidate Forums. New idea? We need volunteers to help with these events.
Help with A Peek at the Peak. We produce this publication and A Peek at the Peak Newsletter as complimentary community services. This involves writing, photographic, web, and graphic skills, sales and marketing help, and distribution support via email, and social media. We need volunteers to help us get the word out.

Why so many clean ups? Fines for littering is the answer
May 3, 2017
Good to hear from you. We have fines, but also very high environmental standards and many folks interested in community service. If we depended on fines, we would need more signs, a form of roadside pollution, and more police for enforcement. Our roadsides are very clean compared to other parts of the country, but cleanups by volunteers and public education makes them look great. Can you ever have enough community service volunteers? How about you?

I would like to help control invasive plants along the Scenic Drive.

Sounds like a great project for Friends of the Scenic Drive. I will contact you directly so that we can discuss furthe. We will also have to get approval and coordinate any effort with the city. As you might know, the vegetative line along the Scenic Drive was just strengthened as a result of Bond 2000, so this might be an excellent time to start a program. I’ll be in touch. Les Conklin
