SUMMARY:Aravaipa Canyon Vinca Removal: April 1 - 3
DESCRIPTION:Register Here!\nReady to get out of the house? Come join us April 1st – 3rd in Aravaipa Canyon Preserve! \nTHE WORK: \nSky Island Alliance has been helping The Nature Conservancy in Aravaipa Canyon for several years on a variety of projects to increase watershed health along this perennial riparian area. Recently we’ve teamed up with Gila Watershed Partnership to work on addressing the threat of invasive periwinkle (Vinca major) throughout the canyon. During this trip we will continue our work to eradicate periwinkle from the riparian understory of the creek banks. This will require fastidious removal of vegetative material and roots with tools provided by Sky Island Alliance. We’ll be bending\, cutting\, digging\, getting dirty\, and getting wet. We will be working to clear vinca right along the banks of the creek\, meaning that we will be wading in and out of the water throughout each day. \n  \nCOVID PRECAUTIONS: \nTo keep our volunteers and staff safe\, we’re taking these precautions: \n\nLimiting the group size to 14 volunteers. If you’d like to bring kids\, please contact us first.\nDriving separately. You can either meet us there or caravan with us from SIA’s office. If we need to get around the preserve\, we’ll carpool with windows down and masks on.\nCamping and having each household bring their own food\, camping gear\, and cooking gear.\nYou’ll get your own tool(s) to use for the duration of the weekend\, and we’ll stay safely spaced out while working.\nKeep a mask handy in your pocket at all times.\nWorking outside\, of course!\nWearing masks inside the bathroom and wiping down surfaces with sanitizer after each use.\nBring your own work gloves.\nWe’ll have a thermometer available in case anyone starts feeling off.\n\n  \nWHAT TO EXPECT: \nThe Nature Conservancy (TNC) has donated the use of the Aravaipa Canyon Preserve guesthouse\, nestled right along Aravaipa Creek. Because of Covid-19\, we’ll all be camping\, but will have access to a bathroom. \nBring your own meals for the weekend – a minimum of 2 breakfasts\, 2 lunches\, and 2 dinners\, with snacks. \n\nPotable water is available onsite.\nBe prepared to unplug – there is no cellphone or internet service at Aravaipa Canyon.\nBring work clothes and appropriate close-toed shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty and wet. You will also want sandals\, water shoes\, or rain boots for our work in the creek.\nWe have extra camping gear available to borrow. Please contact our staff listed below if you would like to use some of our equipment.\n\nPlease note that we are working at The Nature Conservancy Aravaipa Canyon Preserve\, NOT in the BLM Aravaipa Wilderness Area. You may not enter the BLM Wilderness Area without a permit (available here: https://www.recreation.gov/). Visitors to the Wilderness Area are carefully managed to protect the wildlife and other natural resources; unauthorized visitation to the Wilderness Area puts SIA’s relationships in jeopardy and will not be tolerated. Don’t worry\, though – there is plenty of beautiful creek to explore at the TNC Aravaipa Canyon Preserve! \n  \nLOCATION: \nAravaipa Canyon is located in the northern Galiuro Mountains and only a few miles from the Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness. The Preserve is only 50 miles northeast of Tucson\, Arizona as the bird flies (approximately 3 to 3.5 hours drive from Tucson or Phoenix). “Not only does the ranch sit over the main aquifer that supplies Aravaipa Creek\, it’s also an important corridor for wildlife traveling from the Galiuro Mountains to the Santa Teresa Mountains\,” says the Preserve’s manager\, Mark Haberstich. With over 10 miles of perennial water\, Aravaipa Canyon is a rare riparian jewel in southern Arizona; it is an important tributary to the Lower San Pedro River. We always see a variety of wildlife in Aravaipa Canyon\, you will want to have your binoculars! \nClick here for more information about the Preserve. \nWe will be working on the EAST SIDE of the canyon\, at the headwaters of the perennial creek. \n  \nGETTING THERE: \nDuring monsoon season\, a high-clearance vehicle is strongly encouraged. There are 2-3 wet wash crossings (yes\, there is perennial water!) before arriving at the guesthouse. That said\, most cars can make it to the guesthouse. \nOption 1: \nMeet at the SIA office at 3127 N Cherry Ave to caravan to Aravaipa Canyon at 1:45 p.m. on Friday. \nWe will head east on 1-10 toward Willcox (and a bathroom break) before heading off toward the northwest for the canyon. The last 40 miles or so are on a well-maintained dirt road. \nOption 2:  \nIf you would like to meet us out there\, just let us know when to expect you on Friday evening. \nFrom Tucson: (155 miles) Take I-10 east to Willcox exit 340. Turn left onto Fort Grant Road and go north 30 miles to Bonita. Turn left onto Klondyke Road and go 32 miles to Klondyke. Preserve entrance is seven miles past Klondyke. The last 38 miles is a gravel road and subject to closure during wet weather. \nFrom Phoenix: (190 miles) Take Highway 60 east to Globe\, then U.S. 70 south to Fort Thomas. Travel eight miles past Fort Thomas and turn right onto Klondyke Road. Travel 28 miles to Klondyke. Preserve entrance is seven miles past Klondyke. The last 38 miles is a gravel road and subject to closure during wet weather. \n  \nTRIP LOGISTICS \n\nFriday 1:45 PM: Meet with SIA staff at our office to carpool to the TNC Guesthouse.\nFriday 5:00 PM: If you would like to meet SIA at the guesthouse\, you may arrive after 5:00 PM on Friday. Follow our green SIA arrow sign for the correct turnoff.\nSaturday 8:30 AM: Be prepared to go over the day’s work and head out. We will work throughout the day with a break for lunch.\nSunday 8:30 AM: Get started on a couple more hours of work.

SUMMARY:Southern Galiuro Erosion Control Structures: December 3 - 5
DESCRIPTION:Register Here!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Sky Island Alliance for a single day trip OR a weekend-long volunteer trip as we install rock structures on a formerly overgrazed property in the Galiuro Mountains. \nABOUT: \nSky Island Alliance has partnered with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to install erosion control structures near the Muleshoe Ranch in the southern Galiuro Mountains. A few years ago\, we installed ponds for wildlife on this land — and now we are returning to improve the site further. We will be creating loose rock structures to halt erosion\, increase water absorption\, and support plant growth in drainages throughout the property. These low-tech structures can make huge differences and are a great tool for transforming landscapes. \nOn this trip\, we have room for participants to camp out and join us for the full weekend OR for folks to come join us just for our work day on Saturday or Sunday. Day-trippers\, please keep in mind that the work site is quite a drive from surrounding communities. Google the “Muleshoe Ranch” to figure out about how long a drive to expect\, but keep in mind this is NOT THE WORK LOCATION. \n  \n\nTHE WORK AND WHAT TO EXPECT: \nThe landowners of this beautiful property are providing us with plenty of great spots to set up tents since we’ll all be camping\, but will have access to a bathroom and there is potable water available onsite. \nFolks staying throughout the weekend should bring your own camping gear (or contact us if you need to borrow some) and meals for the weekend – a minimum of 2 breakfasts\, 2 lunches\, and 2 dinners\, with snacks. \nWe will be building rock structures which will entail carrying\, moving\, and placing rocks of various sizes. Some heavy lifting will be required\, though no one will be asked to lift more than they feel capable of. Be prepared for getting dirty as we will also be digging as a part of the building process. \nAlso\, be prepared to unplug as cell phone service is spotty or non-existent out there. \n\n\n\n  \nCOVID PRECAUTIONS: \nTo keep our volunteers and staff safe\, we’re taking these precautions: \n\nLimiting the overnight group size to 10 volunteers to avoid situations where physical distancing becomes difficult. If you’d like to bring kids\, please contact us first.\nDriving separately. You can either meet us there\, or caravan with us from SIA’s office.\nCamping\, and having each household bring their own food\, camping gear\, and cooking gear.\nYou’ll get your own tool(s) to use for the duration of the weekend\, and we’ll stay safely spaced out while working.\nKeep a mask handy in your pocket at all times.\nWorking outside\, of course!\nWearing masks inside the bathroom and wiping down surfaces with sanitizer after each use.\nBring your own work gloves if you have them.\nWe’ll have a thermometer available in case anyone starts feeling off.\n\n  \nPROJECT SCHEDULE & LOCATION: \n\nFriday: Meet at 2:30 p.m. at our office: 3127 N Cherry Ave\, Tucson\, AZ 85719 at the SW corner of Cherry Ave and Fort Lowell Rd. To carpool or caravan to the site (Covid permitting). There is parking in our lot off Cherry.\nFriday/Saturday: If you’d prefer to meet us at the worksite\, please join us after 5:00 pm Friday or by 8:30 a.m. Saturday for you day-trippers (directions will be sent to registered participants). Keep a lookout for our green SIA signs pointing the way.\nSaturday: We will start work around 8:30 a.m. (day-trippers should join us by then)\, work throughout the day with a break for lunch\, and end by 5 p.m.\nSunday: We will start work around 8:30 a.m. (day-trippers should join us by then)\, work throughout the day with a break for lunch\, and be wrapping up by 3:00 p.m. (or earlier).\n\n  \nWHAT TO BRING: \n\nFolks staying throughout the weekend should bring your own camping gear (or contact us if you need to borrow some) and meals for the weekend – a minimum of 2 breakfasts\, 2 lunches\, and 2 dinners\, with snacks.\nBinoculars – this is a fabulous birding spot!\nSturdy footwear (e.g.\, hiking boots) that you don’t mind getting dirty or muddy\nSun protection (e.g.\, wide-brimmed hat\, sunblock\, long sleeved shirt\, long pants)\nSturdy pants: we will be kneeling and working in the dirt\, sand\, and rocks\, so you’ll want pants that are up to the task\nSky Island Alliance will provide all tools and work gloves\, though if you have a pair of gloves you like\, feel free to bring them.\n\nUnfortunately\, pets are not allowed on this trip. \nQuestions?
