Tucson’ s rivers\, creeks\, and arroyos historically were natural cooling areas\, with riparian forests supp orted by natural floodplains and shallow groundwat er areas. With development\, flooding\, and ground water pumping\, much of this riparian forest has b een lost. We look forward to working with Danny Lo pez Park in cultivating and caring for native vege tation and enhancing this section of floodplain of the Santa Cruz River.
\n \nGet your hands in the dirt at this restoration workshop aimed to improve riparian forest habitat around Silverbell Lake on the west side of Tucson. We will be workin g to enhance the recreational spaces along the San ta Cruz River near and within Danny Lopez Park by planting native riparian tree and understory veget ation\, shaping and digging water harvesting earth works\, and stabilizing rock work already in the a rea. This project is in partnership with the Frien ds of Danny Lopez Park.
\n \nThis event is organized through WMG’s River Run Network (RRN ). The RRN is a program that honors the heritage o f our rivers and the value that water holds for th e peoples of Southern Arizona. We acknowledge the indigenous communities that have respected and ste warded our rivers for thousands of years and the P ascua Yaqui\, Tohono O’odham\, and Latino communit ies that continue to steward the rivers today. Mem bers work together to learn about and steward our rivers through creek walks\, restoration activitie s\, river clean-ups\, and educational workshops. I f you are not yet a member\, we will add you to th e RRN when you register for this event. Membership is free and includes a regular e-newsletter with upcoming events.
