Mission Statement
The Tamarisk Coalition's mission is to provide education, technical assistance, and coordinating support for the restoration of riparian lands.
Description
The Tamarisk Coalition believes strongly in the power of local community to restore and protect our lands. Volunteer projects are an excellent way to facilitate this process. Our volunteer projects focus on education, dialogue, and on-the-ground tamarisk and Russian olive control, revegetation, monitoring, and maintenance. This approach has inspired a core community of local citizens to improve the health of the ecosystems we all depend upon and enjoy.
Please see our website for more information on the adverse environmental impacts of Tamarisk and Russian olive, two invasive plant species that are infesting river corridors in the West.http://www.tamariskcoalition.org/tamariskcoalition/Tamarisk.html
