The Mat tie Canyon watershed experiences erosive condition s due to historical agricultural diversions\, drai nage of rural dirt roads\, and historical grazing of hillslopes. Existing drainage of the rural road s is contributing to concentrated flows downstream which reduces hillslope vegetation and creates er osive rills and gullies. Modification of road drai nage features will help spread flows across downst ream hillslopes to support vegetation and reduce e rosion that channels sediment into the adjacent Ci enega Creek. We will be utilizing local and import ed rock material to build media lunas\, one rock d ams\, rock run downs\, or other similar rock featu res. Access to the treatment locations is along a dirt road\, largely on Arizona State Land adjacent to BLM’s Las Cienegas NCA managed lands. This is a 2-day event with an overnight stay on-site.
\n \nThis event is organized through WMG’s River Run Network (RRN). The RRN is a program tha t honors the heritage of our rivers and the value that water holds for the peoples of Southern Arizo na. We acknowledge the indigenous communities that have respected and stewarded our rivers for thous ands of years and the Pascua Yaqui\, Tohono O’odha m\, and Latino communities that continue to stewar d the rivers today. Members work together to learn about and steward our rivers through creek walks\ , restoration activities\, river clean-ups\, and e ducational workshops. If you are not yet a member\ , we will add you to the RRN when you register for this event. Membership is free and includes a reg ular e-newsletter with upcoming events.
