River Restoration Projects

The Babocomari River is a tributary of the San Pedro River, catching precipitation that falls on the Hauchuca Mountains, Canelo Hills and Mustang Mountains. The Babocomari River supports Cottonwood gallery forests, a riparian habitat consisting of Cottonwoods, Willows, Baccharis, occasional Ash trees and a panoply of understory forbs and shrubs. The Babocomari has been a home to beaver historically and recently.

The Tanque Verde is a verdant intermitent creek running west from the base of the Rincon Mountains East of Tucson. Due to the shallow groundwater table at the headwaters, Cottonwood, Willow and other riparian tree species make this creek their home. In turn, bird, mammal, repitilian and an entrie ecosystem of life has grown along the banks of this water source.
