Our mission is to increase pronghorn populations in Arizona through habitat improvements, habitat acquisition, the translocation of animals to historic range, and public comment on activities affecting pronghorn and their habitat.  As a 501c3 nonprofit, all of our proceeds help advance our mission.

    Vekol Valley AGFD Release Pen Construction 1-day Project 

    November 4, 2024

    Project Location:  We will be working on BLM lands approximately 6 miles south of Interstate 8,  at the Vekol Valley Exit at Mile Marker 144, 25 miles west/southwest  of Casa Grande, AZ.

    Project Begins:  Monday November 4, 2024. Please meet at the parking/camp location not later than 10:00AM. This is a one-day project. It does not include AAF food service or camp facilities at the parking lot meeting zone. Depending on the number of volunteers work will likely be concluded not later than 4PM for your drive home.

    Project Activity:  We will be reconstructing a 20 acre pronghorn holding/release pen.

    Sonoran Pronghorn Benefits:  This release pen is used annually to hold up to 20 Sonoran Pronghorn before their release a couple of months later into the surrounding desert to join previously released animals.

    What to Bring:  Work gloves, snacks, water, personal gear.

    Meals:  Please provide your own lunch to eat in the field on Monday. AAF will provide field water on the project day.

    RSVP/Contact:   Please register by Wednesday October 30th  so we have some idea of the volunteer labor we will have available. The direct link to register online for this project is:
