Join The Friends of The Canoas!
The FRIENDS OF THE CANOAS is a volunteer membership interest group of the GVC Foundation that champion careful guardianship of the over 5,000 acres of Pima County Conservation Land & Resources parkland housed in the Green Valley community, most notable of which are the Historic Canoa Ranch (located at 5375 East I-19 Frontage Road) and the Canoa Hills Trails Park (off Camino del Sol).
The Friends of the Canoas promote and preserve these natural community resources through outreach, education, fundraising, and good old-fashioned effort. If you enjoy visiting Historic Canoa Ranch and the beloved lake or if you venture along the 5.5 miles of walking paths through the 130 acres open space Trails Park, consider joining the Friends of the Canoas. Your membership helps sustain these important parks and you receive meaningful benefits in return.
