River Run Network

The River Run Network is partnering with Tucson Village Farm to host our 5th Annual family-friendly Bat Night! The Rillito River is home to many different creatures that use Tucson’s watersheds and bridges as habitat. One of these cool critters is the Brazilian Free-Tailed Bat. Just before sunset, these nocturnal mammals wake up from their siesta and take flight, flitting around our city and munching insects and pollinating many of our native plants!

Join Catlow Shipek, WMG's Sr. Program Director, and Mike Shaw, HawkWatch International for a guided walk to assess recent restoration activities at and learn about the birds of prey of the Rio Vista Natural Resource Park—a living example of what’s possible when neighbors, nonprofits, and the City come together to protect and restore our local rivers. Rio Vista is protected as one of Tucson's few natural resource parks—preserving habitat, landscape, and native vegetation while offering a peaceful space for passive recreation.

Join us to explore the flowing Santa Cruz River at Twin Peaks Rd! Thanks to upstream effluent, this stretch flows year-round, supporting wildlife and native vegetation, and is about to receive an exciting update. Pima County Flood Control is enhancing the area with a wildlife ramp, stream restoration, grade control structures, revegetation, and invasive species removal.
