Spring Restoration in Bear Canyon
April 9, 2026Help us restore a wildlife oasis by removing invasive grasses and oleander along the Bear Canyon drainage around Rancho Fundoshi Spring. We’ll be working in the soil, bending, kneeling, and using hand tools, picks, and lots of elbow grease.
Spring Seeking in the Catalinas
February 26, 2026Join us for some wild and beautiful hikes on the east side of the Catalinas, near Redington Pass, as we survey springs by day and car camp at night.
Erosion Control in the Catalinas
February 24, 2026Join 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. We’ll be camping at Whitetail Campground on Mt. Lemmon.
