Stricklin Park
Stricklin Park in Prescott is our "adopted" city natural area. It has been some years since we've helped with enhancements, but this spring, we joined Prescott City to help with their new design to improve and manage water flows in the park. We're looking forward to these changes!
See our May newsletter for more.

The area includes the "Cottonwood Peninsula" where the Great Blue Herons and the Double-crested Cormorants nest.
