River Run Network

Join the River Run Network for an educational afternoon focused on Natural History and Ecology. Not sure what that really means? Come find out!
We’ll keep our eyes open for animal tracks, our ears out for bird songs, our noses for the scent of blooming flowers, and our hearts and minds open to curiosity and wonder.

Join our community effort to restore Tanque Verde Creek! We invite people of all ages, diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds, beliefs, and many other diverse communities to participate in restoring our heritage of seasonal and year-round water flows. Come work with WMG staff and other River Run Network volunteers in a beautiful riparian area to remove this invasive species and contribute to the restoration of surface flows and the riparian forest. We are working around an area that has recently seen a return of extended, seasonal flows!

The Santa Cruz River has a rich cultural and ecological history that grounds us in this watershed and the city of Tucson. There are stretches of the river where effluent flow is being released, and water flows year round, the Irvington Outfalls is another example of this. The Tucson Airport Remediation Project (TARP) releases clean, recycled water into the Santa Cruz River and creates a vibrant flowing stream. This site is an example of Tucson Water's PFAS remediation efforts.
