Restore Tanque Verde Creek: Join the Effort!
Help us remove the invasive Arundo donax plant to restore natural water flows and native habitats in the Tanque Verde Creek. 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.
Why It Matters
Arundo is harmful to our waterways because it crowds out native plants, increases flood risk, and raises wildfire danger when it dries out. Our volunteers have already helped restore over 55 acres of riparian habitat in the Tanque Verde Creek area. Join us to continue this critical work and help Tucson’s watersheds thrive.
