Field Notes

  • Erosion Control on North Slope of Catalinas

    Mt. Lemmon Summerhaven, AZ

    Join us for a lovely day on the mountain as we work to slow down water in a priority drainage that was damaged in the 2020 Bighorn Fire.

  • Erosion Control in the Catalinas

    Join us in the Santa Catalina Mountains for a weekend building erosion-control structures in areas burned by the 2020 Bighorn Fire. Together, we can protect springs from landslides and ensure the mountain absorbs even more rain and snowmelt, recharging the aquifer that plants, wildlife, and people like us depend on. Note: Carpooling from Tucson is available, and day-trippers are most welcome.
