Our Arundo Removal Efforts are expanding! We are so excited to start this new initiative, taking Arundo Removal to the next level across Tucson into many of our other creeks and rivers, not just the Tanque Verde Creek.

We begin this effort by tackling areas across the Rillito this fall (2024) where there have been documented sightings of Arundo, and we need your help to stop the spread and keep it out of our creeks! At this event, we will focus our efforts on picking up trash and removing a few small stands of Arundo in the creek area, easily accessible from the Loop so you can join us by bike or you may even be close enough to walk.

We will bring everything you need to participate in this effort to pick up trash and remove the invasive species, but you are welcome to bring your own supplies as well! We recommend bringing your favorite set of gloves, a water bottle, and loppers if you have them.
