Explore and Restore the Santa Cruz River
The Santa Cruz River is a vital part of Tucson's cultural and ecological heritage. At the Irvington Outfalls, you can witness the positive impact of effluent flow from the Tucson Airport Remediation Project (TARP), which releases clean, recycled water into the river, creating a vibrant, year-round stream.
Join Watershed Management Group's River Run Network for a unique opportunity to explore this beautiful stretch of the river while helping to keep it clean and healthy. By removing trash and debris, you'll be protecting the plants and animals that depend on our riparian areas and contributing to the overall health of our watershed.
