Help Sky Island Alliance and the Sabino Springs HOA recover a remarkable spring oasis in the Sabino Springs neighborhood of East Tucson.
Invasive Arundo, or giant reed, has choked out native plants and diminished the spring flow for decades. Sabino Spring neighbors and other volunteers have already contributed more than 570 hours to clear Arundo out of the first 30% of the site to enhance native habitat for plants and wildlife. It’s time to finish clearing the rest of the Arundo to let the spring water rise back to the surface, and we need your help!
What will my contribution be used for?
For $250, we can remove one ton of cut Arundo from the site.
For $500, you can sponsor a local student group to help clear Arundo.
For $1,000, you can sponsor heavy equipment operators to excavate Arundo roots so the plant can’t grow back.
For $5,000, you can sponsor a week of restoration activities to accelerate the recovery of this peaceful spring.
