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.

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.
