Support Arundo Removal & Trash Pick Up this Saturday

Help us remove the invasive Arundo donax plant to restore natural water flows and native habitats in the Tanque Verde Creek and beyond. Arundo grows quickly and uses up to four times the water of native plants, threatening our desert ecosystem. By volunteering with WMG's River Run Network, you can make a difference in bringing back a healthier, greener riparian forest across the Tucson Basin.

We have events every Saturday in the Tanque Verde Creek to support this effort, you can see our upcoming dates and register for a workshop here.

On Saturday, January 11th @ 2pm - 4pm, we will be working in the Rillito River near Craycroft Rd to pick up trash and remove small stands of Arundo.
