Buffelgrass Resources

Buffelgrass Outreach Programs

Trained volunteers speak to any group in the greater Tucson area. They deliver a “Buffelgrass in the Sonoran Desert” presentation that provides information on where our invasive grasses came from, why they are considered a serious threat, and what can be done to control them. Buffelgrass outreach volunteers also staff tables with buffelgrass samples and handouts at community events in Tucson.
