Join WMG Staff in the Tanque Verde Creek to conduct plant surveys! As part of our Arundo removal efforts, we want to better understand how these areas will change over time. To do this, we will be collecting plant data from many areas along the creek using a method called plant transects. You'll be accompanied by WMG staff to help you learn and use this method in the field, so no experience necessary! This is a great opportunity to use plant identification skills or learn all about the riparian plants in the desert. Whether you'll be learning these things as you go, or practicing an old habit, you'll be helping to collect data that we will use for many years to track the changes and health of the Tanque Verde Creek.
For this workshop, you'll be walking through sandy and possibly wet soils carrying light equitment and paper surveys throughout the Tanque Verde Creek.
