River Run Network Creek Walk: Explore the Cortaro Narrows

We look forward to sharing the beauty of our local creeks with you. This event will be outside and, while we try to minimize rough terrain, you will be walking across sandy, rocky, and possibly wet soils and navigating through riparian environments. Please wear appropriate shoes and clothing for hiking outdoors, we will be walking in the creek, and you may get your feet wet if the creek is flowing. Also, please arrive on time as we will start our creek walk after a short introduction and we don't want you to get left behind. If you are unable to attend an event for any reason, please respond to this email to cancel your registration to allow for others on the waitlist to attend.

Pima County Flood Control is in Phase 2 of the Santa Cruz River Cortaro Narrows Training Structures project. What's been done? We'll show you!

You'll hear from Janice Hughes, PE, RG, and Matthew Lutheran, PLA  about the work done in Phase 1 and what's in store to enhance the area with stream restoration, grade control structures, revegetation, and invasive species removal. There is so much potential for this section of river, from creating habitat for Sonora Mud Turtles to seeing native fish and creating bird habitat, we look foward to showing you what's in store.

This event is organized through WMG’s River Run Network (RRN). The RRN is a program that honors the heritage of our rivers and the value that water holds for the peoples of Southern Arizona. We acknowledge the indigenous communities that have respected and stewarded our rivers for thousands of years and the Pascua Yaqui, Tohono O’odham, and Latino communities that continue to steward the rivers today. Members work together to learn about and steward our rivers through creek walks, restoration activities, river clean-ups, and educational 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 regular e-newsletter with upcoming events.
