River Run Network Restoration Workshop: Tanque Verde Plant Survey - May 10th

When:
05/10/2024 - 9:00am

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.

Using a Dry Irrigation Ditch to Restore a Historic Tucson Mesquite Grove

For well over a century, the Corbett Irrigation Ditch carried water from Tanque Verde Creek to the old Fort Lowell neighborhood, where it nourished farmland and helped to sustain a thick forest of native velvet mesquite trees. Now a group of residents, historians and conservationists have launched a campaign to restore the trees and fill the ditch with water again for the first time since it mysteriously ran dry roughly a decade ago.
