Outdoor Volunteer Event at Sabino Canyon

Sunday, December 6, 2009
7:45 a.m. - 12 p.m.

Sabino Canyon, in the Coronado National Forest, is one of Tucson's most popular outdoor recreation sites. Giant Reed, or Arundo, is an invasive plant that invades riparian channels, where it competes with native species such as cottonwoods and willows, as it has done in Sabino Creek.

We need your help on the first Sunday of each month to remove the plants, which entails cutting, bundling and hauling the stalks.

Volunteers are advised to bring water and to wear sturdy shoes or boots, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a hat, sunglasses or safety glasses. Tools and gloves will be provided. Parking for volunteers is free. Volunteer windshield parking passes can be obtained at the registration table.

Audience: All, Medium (51-100)
