SUMMARY:Milkweeds in Madera
DESCRIPTION:Milkweeds (and Oaks) in Madera\n\n\nJoin SIA staff in Madera Canyon for a day of habitat restoration! We will be focused on planting milkweeds and young oak trees at the site of the new bridges in the upper canyon. This site has come a long way since the construction\, and is looking great! Help us as we install even more plant resources for pollinators and other wildlife. \nBACKGROUND \nIf you’ve been down to Madera Canyon in the Santa Rita Mountains recently\, you may have noticed that there are two new bridges near the trail heads. We are working with the Coronado National Forest\, Borderlands Restoration\, and Friends of Madera Canyon to restore ecosystem function at the site.  Come out and help stabilize this beautiful canyon (and birding hotspot) just an hour south of Tucson. \nTO REGISTER\, CLICK HERE! \n\nPROJECT SCHEDULE (8:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.) \n\n8:00 a.m.: Meet SIA staff bright and early at the large parking lot at the top of Madera Canyon.\nIf you would like a ride\, or to caravan to the site\, meet SIA staff at OUR NEW OFFICE – 406 S. 4th Avenue (at the corner of 14th in Armory Park) at 7:00 am.\n2:00 p.m.: Load up and head back to Tucson.\n\nTHE WORK \nOur work is designed to prevent erosion from the construction site into Madera Creek\, and to re-establish native vegetation on the site. During this visit to the canyon\, the day’s work could include\, planting native plants\, watering and mulching the plants we’ve installed earlier this year\, continuing to arrange rocks on the site to prevent errosion\, and removing invasive vinca from the forest understory. Volunteers do not need to have prior training to participate and SIA will provide all tools necessary. \nLOCATION & DIRECTIONS \n\nFrom Tucson\, head south on I-19 to Green Valley. Exit at Continental Road (exit 63) and follow the road east as it turns into White House Canyon Road.

Failure to comply means you will not be able to work with us.\nWater and any snacks/lunch you might need for a morning working outside.\nSturdy footwear (ex. hiking boots) with closed toes is encouraged as is sun protection (ex. wide-brimmed hat\, sunblock)\n\n\n  \nPROVIDED BY SIA \n\nHard hats\, vests\, and gloves. \nSite background and activity instruction.\nTools and materials.\nVolunteer agreement.\n\n\nADDITIONAL INFORMATION \n\nThis project will be led by Bryon Lichtenhan.

SUMMARY:Spring Assessments: Southern Galiuros in October
DESCRIPTION:BACKGROUND:\nThis weekend\, we will be hoping completing additional assessments of springs in preparation for controlled burns that will be conducted in the area next year (For those of you who came on our trips this spring\, the controlled burn was postponed\, giving us the chance to get to more springs!). It is unknown how fire affects spring ecosystems\, so this trip will be focused on collecting baseline information on springs before fire. We will be in the southern end of the Galiuros for these assessments\, at about 4000-5000′ elevation. \nYou should be comfortable hiking off-trail (bushwhacking). We will have spots for 3-5 people in the SIA vehicles\, but after these fill up\, you’ll need to bring your own high clearance\, 4WD\, vehicle. The road is rugged\, though not really technical. A Subaru Forester with off-road tires is probably about the minimum required for this road. Contact us to check if your vehicle is suitable. \nTO REGISTER\, CLICK HERE! \nTRIP SCHEDULE:\nFriday 1:30 pm:  Meet SIA staff at our office (406 S. 4th Ave\, north side of SW corner of 4th Ave and 14th St). Drive out to camp in the southern Galiuros. Set up camp and enjoy the evening. \nSaturday 8:00 am: Breakfast with a quick refresher on use of spring assessment equipment. Then split up into teams and work through the day\, returning to camp around 5:00 pm. \nSunday 8:00 am: Continue assessment work until about noon\, then pack up and head home for a shower! We will try and be back to Tucson by 5:00 pm. \nTHE WORK:\nAt the springs\, we will be recording water quality and quantity\, taking photographs\, making a map of the spring\, and documenting the flora and fauna. Spring assessments require hiking off-trail\, potentially in steep terrain. Springs in this area have very limited road access\, so we will be driving on a high clearance\, 4WD road some\, and then hiking off trail to the spring\, usually about 0.5 to 1 mile each way. The springs are usually up somewhat steep drainages\, so we may be clambering over some boulders. Each team will probably be able to assess 2-3 springs per day. We may hike as much as 8 miles in one day with part or all of that being off-trail. For spring assessments\, we are looking for volunteers with tracking skills\, plant identification skills\, invertebrate identification skills\, and strong hikers\, but no special skills are necessary. Volunteers do not need to have prior training to participate. \nCAMP LOCATION:\nWe will caravan to the camp location north of the Muleshoe Ranch. It will be an undeveloped site\, so plan to bring your own water for drinking and washing (it’s a good idea to bring more than you think you will need)\, as well as trowels and toilet paper for bathroom breaks. \nWHAT TO BRING: \n\nAll tents\, sleeping bags\, mattresses\, stoves\, etc. that you might bring on any normal car camping trip.\nPlease bring a larger backpack in which to carry shared springs assessment gear.\nSeveral gallons of water per person plus all the food you’ll need for a minimum of 8 meals out\, plus snacks.\nSturdy footwear (ex. hiking boots\, sandals) plus clothing for wet and cold weather\, binoculars\, field guides\, etc.\nLong\, tough pants are strongly recommended. If you have gaiters\, bring them!\nAnything else you would normally bring for a dayhike.\nIf you need to carry an EpiPen\, please bring it.\nTransportation to and from the camp area to the work site will be provided by SIA staff members and volunteers with suitable vehicles.\nVolunteer Agreement/Waiver – All volunteers need to sign the agreement annually. We will have extras on-hand if this is your first time volunteering in 2016.\n\nPROVIDED BY SIA:\nTools\, basic camp kitchen set-up including camp stove\, extra water\, cameras\, GPS\, data sheets\, maps\, first-aid kits. \nDue to the sensitive nature of springs\, dogs are not allowed. \nADDITIONAL INFORMATION:\nThis trip will be led by Sami Hammer. Contact her with questions at sami@skyislandalliance.org or 520-624-7080\, ext. 16.
