About the Ramsey Canyon Preserve-Nature Conservancy
Ramsey Canyon Preserve, located at 27 East Ramsey Canyon Road in Hereford, Arizona, is a beautiful park and tourist attraction managed by The Nature Conservancy. The preserve is situated in Southeastern Arizona, where different ecosystems converge, resulting in a diverse range of plant and animal species. Visitors can explore the lush canyon environment, hike the trails, shop at the bookstore, and observe hummingbirds in action.
The preserve is home to a variety of unique species, including Apache and Chihuahua pines, ridge-nosed rattlesnakes, elegant trogons, and various species of hummingbirds. The cool, moist environment of Ramsey Canyon, provided by a spring-fed stream and high canyon walls, offers a stark contrast to the surrounding arid landscapes of the desert Southwest.
Ramsey Canyon Preserve serves as a base for The Nature Conservancy's conservation work in the region, focusing on projects such as fire management, stream restoration, and protection of rare species. The preserve is part of the Apache Highlands ecoregion, which spans across Arizona, New Mexico, and Mexico.
Visitors can access the preserve by following Highway 92 south from Sierra Vista and turning onto Ramsey Canyon Road. Parking is limited, so visitors are encouraged to arrive early. The Visitor Center offers information about the preserve, restrooms, and hummingbird viewing opportunities. Pets are not allowed in the preserve, but service animals are permitted.
Birdwatching is best during the months of April through September, when a variety of migratory and nesting bird species can be observed. The Hamburg Trail offers a scenic hike through the preserve, providing views of Ramsey Creek and access to the Coronado National Forest.
Volunteer opportunities are available at Ramsey Canyon Preserve, and donations to the Ramsey Canyon Preserve Stewardship Endowment fund help support the long-term conservation efforts of the preserve. By visiting and supporting Ramsey Canyon Preserve, visitors can contribute to the protection of this unique and ecologically important area.

Reviews of Ramsey Canyon Preserve-Nature Conservancy
"Outstanding birding area in season. We were a bit early for the full spring experience by several weeks but still nice. Be advised they are closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. A small parking lot with no overflow or street parking so if the small lot is full you will have to leave and come back later. TNC charges admission if you aren't a member."
"A haven for birders especially in the early spring and mid summer. There are miles of hiking trails and some mountain bike trails and roads. There's something for everyone. The Nature Conservancy's visitor center is cozy. The volunteers are helpful with recent sightings and ideas on where to go."
"Challenging uphill trail in beautiful wooded Valley. Well known birding area. Historical buildings from an early settler along path. Optional Steep, steep trail to lookout. Small gift shop in visitor center. We'll worth return hikes."
"Beautiful for taking in the fall colors, wildlife, and of course birds. Choose from a short, easy hiking trail, or go all the way to the lookout point, with benches along the way to just sit and observe. Nice gift shop with friendly help. Free parking is limited, but we didn't mind paying to park at the small lodge next door."
