Join the River Run Network to Tackle Arundo in the Tanque Verde Creek
Exciting News: More Opportunities to Help Restore Tanque Verde Creek!
We're adding a second weekly Arundo removal event on Thursdays! Due to changes in our federal funding, we're shifting more work time to our state-funded projects — great news for the Tanque Verde ecosystem as we expand our restoration efforts.
3 Months Left to Support Arundo Removal in the Tanque Verde Creek
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.
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.

My Arundo Removal Experience - An Intern's Perspective on Eradicating an Invasive Species
Hi, my name is Julia and I am the River Run Network intern for Fall 2022 - Spring 2023. I started my internship with Watershed Management Group in August 2022 and my first Arundo pull was a warm September day. I remember seeing this invasive plant all around the Tanque Verde Creek, taking up so much space in the creek.
