GAP YEAR & VISITING GROUPS
ABOUT
Borderlands Restoration Network welcomes visiting groups to participate in hands-on restoration experiences and expert-led field trips within Santa Cruz County. We offer bunkhouse-style accommodation for up to 18 people, numerous outdoor spaces for camping, locally catered meals, and a chance to experience the unique challenges and rewards of life in rural borderlands spaces.
We encourage you to book a stay with BRN in order to introduce your group to the richness of southern Arizona’s ecology and culture, as well as to participate in meaningful restoration work led by our team of passionate professionals.
