Our Sustainable Desert Living series classes are hands-on, practical sessions at our Living Lab and Learning Center give you access to working systems and resources to help you achieve your hydro-local, urban sustainable living goals. WMG instructors provide expertise and in-depth knowledge on topics from greywater systems to native edible plants to composting toilets.

WMG’s Living Lab is our demonstration site of hydro-local living and watershed resilience, as well as our office space. The campus is supported by rainwater for all indoor and outdoor needs almost year-round. It includes extensive rain gardens, a native food forest, a 10,000 gallon underground cistern, art exhibits about Tucson’s history of flowing creeks and rivers, a kids’ play area, composting toilets, and so much more.

Hydro-Local Valley is WMG's Phoenix-area programming: community classes, grassroots projects, and policy work. Hydrate the Valley classes are community classes on water harvesting and native landscaping offered in communities throughout the Valley. We also work with area schools to promote desert adapted urban forestry practices and we teach sessions as part of The Nature Conservancy's Urban Heat Leadership Academy.

Let us help you get the most out of the rebates available from Tucson Water! Watershed Management Group offers the free educational session required to receive Tucson Water's rebates for residential rainwater harvesting and greywater systems. We now offer these classes virtually and in-person.
