Buffelgrass Removal Hands-On Training

Buffelgrass Removal Hands-On Training

June 16, 2012 / 7:30 am - 10:00 am

Tucson Clean and Beautiful, in collaboration with Saguaro National Park and the Southern Arizona Buffelgrass Coordination Center has a removal project planned for Saturday, 6/16/12. We will be meeting  at 451. N. Bonita Ave.  This is city owned property, behind Treasure Chest publishing on Bonita/Commerce Park Loop. Our plan is to remove as much buffelgrass as possible from 7:30-10:00am.  It should be a beautiful morning and what better way is there to start your weekend than getting some exercise while helping your community?! 

You are welcome to bring any equipment you have (like a shovel, digging bar, or a pick) and we will have plenty on hand for you to use.  We will also provide work gloves, water and some light refreshments.  Make sure to wear appropriate shoes/boots, long pants and long sleeves, a hat, and sunscreen, and bring plenty of water.

Contact Caroline at happydesert@gmail.com (520-419-1858) if you have questions.

Tucson Clean and Beautiful, in collaboration with the Southern Arizona Buffelgrass Coordination Center and Saguaro National Park, has put together a community-based initiative to remove this hazardous invasive species from our parks, streets, and neighborhoods.Hands-on volunteer days are being planned throughout the region, to demonstrate buffelgrass removal techniques and how volunteers can assist right in their own neighborhood.

Site visits and presentations are also available for neighborhood and homeowner associations, and other community organizations.

Supplies and other assistance are also available for community projects throughout the Tucson-Pima County metropolitan area.
