SUMMARY:Ironwood Forest Cleanup & Restoration Day
DESCRIPTION:Volunteers play a vital role in supporting the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) through a wide range of hands-on conservation projects. Activities may include habitat restoration\, trail improvement\, sign installation\, vegetation and trash removal\, fencing\, and invasive species management—primarily targeting buffelgrass. \nOn a typical workday\, volunteers meet with BLM staff in the morning and travel together to the designated project site. The BLM provides all necessary tools and safety equipment. Volunteers usually work until around noon\, then break for lunch or head out for the day. \nIn addition to getting some exercise\, volunteers are rewarded with sweeping desert views and the chance to experience Sonoran Desert plants and wildlife up close. Projects take place in stunning locations such as Ragged Top\, the Waterman and Silverbell Mountains\, the Samaniego Hills\, Cocoraque Butte\, El Cerrito de Represso\, and many other unique landscapes—making each workday both educational and enjoyable. \nFor more information\, to sign up\, or to be added to the mailing list for future projects\, please email board member\, John Holzemer.

SUMMARY:Río Relay: The Cleanup Run
DESCRIPTION:🌊 Join us for a first-of-its-kind event along the Santa Cruz River! \nThe Río Relay is a unique fun run and volunteer experience designed to bring together communities along the Santa Cruz River in Pima County—while giving back to the river we all love. \nSimilar to a 5K fun run\, the route begins at Juhan Park and ends near Mission Garden. Along the way\, teams of two or more will travel through the Santa Cruz Riverbed collecting as much trash as possible within a 3-hour time limit. \n⚠️ This is rough terrain\, and participants are strongly encouraged to walk rather than run to stay safe and maximize cleanup efforts. \n\n🏃 Participation Options\n1️⃣ Participate as a Team Member\nTeams will work together in the riverbed to remove litter from the Santa Cruz River. \nEntry Fee: $25 per participantIncludes:✔ 1 raffle ticket✔ Swag bag✔ Official race T-shirt \n\n2️⃣ Participate as a Volunteer (Space is limited)\nVolunteers will be stationed at one of five trash drop-off sites\, where they will:• Receive trash bags from teams• Measure and count trash for the trash survey• Resupply cleanup bags• Assist with refreshments as needed \nVolunteers will receive:✔ 1 raffle ticket✔ Volunteer T-shirt \n\nWhether you’re hiking the riverbed or helping behind the scenes\, your participation directly supports a cleaner\, healthier Santa Cruz River and a stronger connected community. \nCome be part of this exciting new tradition—move your body\, meet your neighbors\, and make a real impact on our river!
