Saturday, October 5, 2024
Time: 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Organization: Watershed Management Group
Description: WMG's River Run Network is excited to tackle the removal of an invasive species, Arundo donax (giant reed), from along Tanque Verde Creek in east Tucson. Arundo is harmful because it drinks up to 3-4 times as much water as native desert plants, crowds out native species and habitat, and increases the risk of flooding and wildfire. By helping to remove Arundo at this workshop, you'll be helping to restore groundwater levels and surface flow in the Tanque Verde Creek.
New to this effort? At each workshop, we will hand out a punch card to new volunteers and punch returning volunteers' cards to help you keep track of the workshops you've been to!
Meeting Location: We will be meeting on the south side of Forty Niner Drive and then carpooling /caravanning to the creek entrance. Please plan to arrive 15 minutes early for check in.
Event location:
12050 E Forty Niner Drive, Tucson, Arizona 85749

Tools Provided: Yes
Bring: Refillable water bottle
