Santa Cruz River at North
Simpson
Habitat Restoration Site |
Tucson
Audubon, in cooperation with the City of Tucson, is enhancing wildlife habitat along the
lower Santa Cruz River in northern Pima County. The
project site
includes a riparian zone fed by effluent from Tucson, and adjacent
abandoned farm land. Project personnel produced a site assessment and work
plan, and have begun planting, seeding, and other work. Check below for continuing
coverage of this project and information on how you can visit, go birding,
or volunteer at the site.
This
site is posted no trespassing, and can be accessed only during official
Tucson Audubon events led by Tucson Audubon staff members.
See more
information and photos of the Santa Cruz River Habitat Project.
Volunteers: For more information, or if
you would like to be on our volunteer list, call Kendall
