River Run Network Restoration Workshop: Erosion Control and Rainwater Basin Building in Tanque Verde Creek Pt 2

Join us in the Forty Niner Country Club area digging rain basins, installing rock overflows, building raised pathways scattering native seeds and mulching.  Work hard while learning passive rainwater harvesting installation techniques.  We’ll be using hand tools like shovels, tampers and rakes to shape earthen basins, laser levels to measure elevations, and handpicks to accomplish basic rockwork techniques. 

This area is important due to its location within the shallow groundwater area adjacent to the Tanque Verde Creek.  Wildlife uses this neighborhood as a corridor to and from the creek and between the mountains and foothills to the north and west.

 

This event is organized through WMG’s River Run Network (RRN). Members work together to learn about and steward our creeks and rivers through creek walks, restoration activities, river clean-ups, and educational workshops. If you are not yet a member, we will add you to the RRN when you register for this event. Membership is free and includes a regular e-newsletter with upcoming events.
