River Restoration
We've got 3 more months to tackle Arundo this season! Arundo grows aggressively, consuming precious water, crowding out native plants, and increasing flood and fire risks. By removing this invasive species, we’re making space for native vegetation, improving groundwater recharge, and working toward a future with restored creek flow.8th Annual Tanque Verde Flow & Feast
05/03/2025 - 5:00pm
Join us for WMG’s 8th Annual Tanque Verde Flow and Feast, an annual celebration of our River Run Network program and desert rivers. This free, family-friendly event features creek walks, a catered dinner, and nature-based activities along the creek. The event takes place in the beautiful Tanque Verde Bosque area, and we'll be in the creekbed and riparian forest for all our activities.
Restore the Rillito this Month with the River Run Network
Join the River Run Network for restoration workshops in the Rillito this month, where we’ll remove invasive Arundo and clean up trash to help restore this vital habitat.
Arundo (giant reed) threatens our local waterways by outcompeting native plants and reducing water flow—but together, we can make a difference! Come out to Brandi Fenton Park on March 1st and 15th to support.
Love Our Rivers this February with the River Run Network
We are starting out the month of February by heading into the Rillito near Curtis Park to keep trash out of our creeks and remove the invasive species Arundo donax.
