TRIP SCHEDULE

• Plan to meet us at the designated meeting spot (NE corner of Sabino Canyon Rd and Tanque Verde Rd, at the south end of the Safeway parking lot) at 9 am.
• We’ll return to the meeting spot by 3pm.

THE WORK

• This project is rated as moderately strenuous; we will be digging out invasive grasses. The work will include bending and walking on uneven surfaces, and potentially walking through water.

WHAT TO BRING

• CLOSED-TOE SHOES/BOOTS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS PROJECT.  Pants and long-sleeved shirts are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Aside from that, anything you would bring on a long day hike would be recommended, such as plenty of water, lunch/snacks, sun protection (sunscreen, wide-brimmed hat), etc.

PROVIDED BY SIA

• Tools, work gloves, supplemental drinking water and first aid equipment.  Tools involved – picks, and metal pry bars will be our main weapons against these invasive plants.  Chemical herbicides will NOT be used.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

• This trip will be led by Bernardo Murrieta.
• Sorry, dogs are not allowed on this project.
• There is no fee involved for this project (although we will put any donations to good use!)
