SUMMARY:Tumamoc Talks: Reconciliation by Design: Planning the Santa Cruz River Urban Wildlife Refuge
DESCRIPTION:The Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill invites the community to a thought-provoking public lecture as part of its ongoing talk series exploring the science\, ecology\, history\, and culture of the Sonoran Desert. These talks bring together research\, storytelling\, and community perspectives to deepen our understanding of the desert we call home. All talks are free and open to the public. \n🗓 Wednesday\, February 4th🕠 5:30 PM \n🎤 Reconciliation by Design: Planning the Santa Cruz River Urban Wildlife RefugePresented by Mackenzie Waller \nThis presentation examines the proposed Santa Cruz River Urban Wildlife Refuge as a powerful opportunity for reconciliation through public landscape architecture and planning—broadening the idea of restoration to include people\, wildlife\, and place. \nOnce a river that connected communities of all kinds\, the Santa Cruz River was altered by extraction and neglect. Today\, community leaders and designers are working to shift this narrative. Guided by diverse community voices and ecological perspectives\, this effort emphasizes locally grounded strategies for resilient stewardship of our shared web of life. \nAbout the Speaker:Mackenzie Waller is a landscape architect\, urban designer\, and assistant professor at the University of Arizona’s College of Architecture\, Planning\, and Landscape Architecture. Her work focuses on environmental and spatial justice in urban environments. Her current research explores how story\, wildlife\, and play can help communities imagine and co-create more just and sustainable futures. \n📍 Location: Tumamoc Hill Boathouse (base of the Hill)1675 W.

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!
