BBBG Day Poster 2011

 

Buffelgrass invasion is threatening to transform the mostly fireproof and diverse Sonoran Desert into a flammable and impoverished savanna, affecting both natural and urban areas.

 

On Saturday, February 5th, 2011  566 volunteers joined in the fight against this growing environmental problem.  They put in 1,689 hours to collect 1474 bags of buffelgrass. 

 

THANK YOU TO ALL THE VOLUNTEERS THAT CAME OUT ON SATURDAY
