River Run Network Restoration Workshop: Tanque Verde Arundo Removal - Apr 24

We are starting weekday workshops in the Tanque Verde Creek through May 2025!

Help us protect and restore the beauty and flow of Tanque Verde Creek. We're inviting people of all ages and backgrounds to join this community effort.

Work alongside WMG staff and River Run Network volunteers in a stunning riparian area to remove Arundo donax (giant reed)—an invasive plant that drinks 3-4 times more water than native species, threatens wildlife habitat, and increases flood and fire risks.

By lending a hand, you'll play a vital role in improving groundwater levels, restoring seasonal flows, and supporting a healthier riparian forest. Together, we can make a lasting impact—come be part of this important restoration effort!

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.
