BACKGROUND
Sky Island Alliance is partnering with the Coronado National Forest and Borderlands Restoration to restore a diverse riparian understory of native plants for wildlife and pollinators at Falls Spring in the Patagonia Mountains! This weekend we will work to remove or invasive species and reclaim this site!
PROJECT SCHEDULE & LOCATION
- Friday: If you would like a ride down to our campsite, or if you want to caravan, we will be meeting at the SIA office (406 S 4th Ave) at 2:30 PM Friday.
- Friday: If you'd like to meet us at our campground, plan on joining us after 4:30 PM Friday. The location of our campground is yet to be determined, so stay tuned...
- Saturday: We will work throughout the day with a break for lunch.
- Sunday: We will work through the morning and early afternoon (with a lunch break) and plan to be back to Tucson by 6:00 PM.

- Sturdy footwear (ex. hiking boots) with closed toes is encouraged as are rain gear and sun protection (ex. wide-brimmed hat, sunblock, long sleeved shirt and long pants)
