Spend a day or two (or most of the week!) with us in beautiful Bear Canyon. We are working to create a healthier habitat for native species by removing  invasive plants and planting species that are beneficial to the other native plants and animals in this riparian community.

TRIP SCHEDULE

• Plan to meet us at the South end of the Safeway parking lot on the Northeast corner of Sabino Canyon and Tanque Verde at 9am.

• We’ll return to the meeting spot by 3pm.

THE WORK

• This project is rated as moderately strenuous; we will be digging out invasive grasses. The work will include bending and walking on uneven surfaces, and potentially walking through water.

WHAT TO BRING

• Anything you would bring on a long day hike, such as plenty of water, lunch/snacks, sturdy footwear (i.e. boots), sun protection (sunscreen, long pants and long-sleeved shirts), etc.
• Volunteer Agreement/Waiver (only needs to be filled out once in a calendar year) https://skyislandalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/VOLUNTEER-WAIVER-AGREEMENT.pdf

PROVIDED BY SIA

• Tools, work gloves, supplemental drinking water and first aid equipment.  Tools involved – shovels, picks, and metal pry bars will be our main weapons against these invasive plants.  Chemical herbicides will NOT be used.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

• This trip will be led by Bryon Lichtenhan.
• Sorry, dogs are not allowed on this project.
• There is no fee involved for this project (although we will put any donations to good use!)
