Description: WMG’s River Run Network is excited to tackle the removal of an invasive species, Arundo donax (giant reed), from along Tanque Verde Creek in east Tucson. Arundo is harmful because it drinks up to 3-4 times as much water as native desert plants, crowds out native species and habitat, and increases the risk of flooding and wildfire. By helping to remove Arundo at this workshop, you’ll be helping to restore groundwater levels and surface flow in the Tanque Verde Creek. New to this effort? At each workshop, we will hand out a punch card to new volunteers and punch returning volunteers' cards to help you keep track of the workshops you've been to!
Meeting Location: We will be meeting on the south side of Forty Niner Drive and then carpooling /caravanning to the creek entrance. Please plan to arrive 15 minutes early for check in.

Description: We begin this effort by tackling areas across the Rillito this fall (2024) where there have been documented sightings of Arundo, and we need your help to stop the spread and keep it out of our creeks! At this event, we will focus our efforts on picking up trash and removing a few small stands of Arundo in the creek area, easily accessible from the Loop so you can join us by bike or you may even be close enough to walk. We will bring everything you need to participate in this effort to pick up trash and remove the invasive species, but you are welcome to bring your own supplies as well! We recommend bringing your favorite set of gloves, a water bottle, and loppers if you have them.
Meeting Location: We will meet near the Diamond St Loop entrance north of the Rillito, on Craycroft Rd.
