Help us get rid of Sahara mustard and other invasive plants out at the Oracle Road wildlife crossing!

Meet at 8:00 a.m. at the Santa Catalina Catholic Church, located at 14380 N Oracle Rd, Tucson, AZ 85739. There is plenty of parking! We will work throughout the day with a break for lunch and wrap up by around 2:00 p.m.
THE WORK
We will be working to remove invasive Sahara mustard from the site along with any other invasive plants that might be trying to establish themselves. Volunteers do not need to have prior training to participate. Sky Island Alliance will provide all tools and instruction as well as extra copies of our volunteer waivers which need to be signed by each participant only once per calendar year.

- Water, snacks, and lunch.
- Sturdy footwear (ex. hiking boots) with closed toes is encouraged as are rain gear and sun protection (ex. wide-brimmed hat, sunblock, long sleeved shirt and long pants)
