City of Sedona Government: Coming Soon, Wildlife viewing Pier

The Arizona Game and Fish Heritage Fund Grant Program awarded the city of Sedona the full grant request of $30,000 for the installation of a wildlife viewing pier at the Sedona Wetlands Preserve. The wildlife viewing pier is anticipated to be completed by the end of this summer.

The City partnered with Northern Arizona Audubon Society (NAAS) to identify and secure the grant. “This is the second successful Heritage Fund Grant that we have worked with the city on and this award is recognition of NAAS’ commitment both to habitat preservation and the wonderful partnership that we have with the city,” said Dena Greenwood, board member of NAAS.

The first Heritage Fund Grant the city received was for the wildlife viewing platform over Pond Three, a water storage reservoir, while this second grant will be used for a wildlife viewing pier over the Wetlands Basin One, which is the first of the six basins that feature vegetation and wildlife habitat at the Sedona Wetlands Preserve.

NAAS conducts seasonally scheduled bird walks and will now incorporate the wildlife viewing pier into the tours to educate the public about wetlands wildlife and preservation. NAAS has designated the Sedona Wetlands Preserve as one of its Bird Sanctuaries, in recognition of it becoming one of the Verde Valley’s most important birding sites.

The wildlife viewing pier will also be ADA compliant and have handrails to allow for safe viewing of the unique assemblage of ducks and shorebirds. “The ADA compliant viewing area will help us expand our field trip programs to individuals with limited mobility,” said Greenwood.

“The Heritage Fund from Arizona Lottery revenue is a critical funding source for the Arizona Game and Fish Department and provides important support for endangered species conservation, wildlife education, public access and much more. Through this grant program, the Arizona Game and Fish Department can expand its reach to more people and help build their connection with the state’s wildlife,” said Marty Herrera, administrator, Arizona Game and Fish Department Heritage Fund.

In the future, the city hopes to be able to provide additional wildlife viewing piers at other locations throughout the Sedona Wetlands Preserve.
