River Run Network: Clean Up the Rillito River with Bookmans!
May 7 2022 - 7:30am
The Rillito River flows through much of Tucson, connecting many of our tributaries to the Santa Cruz River. These connections allow much of our water to flow through the Rillito River. This flow will take more than water downstream; trash also flows with it. We’re partnering with Bookmans Entertainment Exchange, working together to clean up a section of the Rillito River near Brandi Fenton Park. This area holds a long history, records tell us that the Binghampton community, once farmers and stewards of the environment themselves, were living near the river, using the flowing creek for irrigation of their crops. Join us on this clean up to learn and explore more about this community along with Bookmans Entertainment Exchange and other River Run Network Members.
This event is organized through WMG’s River Run Network. If you are not yet a member, we will add you to the Network when you register for this event.
