River Run Network Bike Ride: Rain Garden Opportunities along Julian Wash Greenway

When:
04/19/2025 - 9:00am

Travel through the beautiful Julian Wash Greenway and help identify opportunities for rain gardens along the Loop! You'll ride through open spaces and even neighborhoods looking for opportunities, so keep your eyes open and creativity flowing as you pedal along this creek. Follow Joaquin Murrieta, WMG's Cultural Ecologist Director and Justin Risley from Native Seed SEARCH on this 10 mile round trip bike ride to explore, learn about, and pinpoint areas where rain gardens are possible along the path to support future projects with Pima Association of Governments.

River Run Network Creek Walk: Stroll through Sabino and Tanque Verde Creek Confluence

When:
02/22/2025 - 3:00pm

Get out for a special creekwalk with Lisa Shipek, WMG's Executive Director, to explore one of our lush riparian areas. Lower Sabino Creek is an area with shallow groundwater, that often flows in the winter. While this winter has had little rain, we can still enjoy the riparian forest found here, that is supported by shallow groundwater. We'll walk upstream along Sabino Creek, weaving through the sandy floodplain, shallow waters (if it rains), and cottonwood forest.

Support Arundo Removal & Trash Pick Up this Saturday

Help us remove the invasive Arundo donax plant to restore natural water flows and native habitats in the Tanque Verde Creek and beyond. Arundo grows quickly and uses up to four times the water of native plants, threatening our desert ecosystem. By volunteering with WMG's River Run Network, you can make a difference in bringing back a healthier, greener riparian forest across the Tucson Basin.
