SUMMARY:Volunteer for Firefly Surveys
DESCRIPTION:We’re looking for volunteers to assist with evening field surveys for the Southwest spring firefly\, a rare species found along Sonoita Creek near Patagonia\, AZ. This species is currently under review for listing under the Endangered Species Act\, but much remains unknown about its distribution\, abundance\, and movement patterns — especially in relation to monsoon activity. \nThis project is part of a collaborative research effort to help answer key ecological questions about this firefly\, including: \n\n\nWhat habitats does it rely on? \n\n\nHow far do individuals travel from the creek? \n\n\nHow does their activity change before and after monsoon rains? \n\n\nLocation: Patagonia\, ArizonaDates: \n\n\nRound 1: Late June (before the monsoon) \n\n\nRound 2: Early to mid-July (after the monsoon begins) \n\n\nTime Commitment: 5–7 days per round\, 6:30 PM–10:00 PM each night \nFirefly_1pagerHosted by: The Nature Conservancy\, Tucson Bird Alliance\, University of Arizona\, Borderlands Restoration\, Xerces Society \nWhat Volunteers Will Do:You’ll join a 3-person team led by a trained surveyor to collect field data in the evenings. Surveys run from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM\, with check-in at 6:30 PM. Volunteers will help record environmental conditions and firefly observations using field equipment (e.g.\, weather meters\, datasheets). No prior experience is necessary — training and support will be provided. \nWhat to Expect: \n\n\nNighttime surveys using red lights \n\n\nHiking off-trail on uneven terrain \n\n\nPossibility of camping on-site (primitive facilities) \n\n\nNo guarantee of seeing fireflies each night \n\n\nA great chance to contribute to real conservation science \n\n\n📩 How to Join:Sign up here: https://shorturl.at/7Yt4SFor questions\, contact Rachel Laura at rlaura@arizona.edu \nCome help us shine a light on one of the desert’s most magical and mysterious insects!

SUMMARY:Aravaipa Canyon Vinca Removal: Jan 31 – Feb 2
DESCRIPTION:Come join us January 31st to February 2nd in Aravaipa Canyon Preserve! \nTO REGISTER CLICK HERE! \nTHE WORK:\nSky Island Alliance has been helping The Nature Conservancy in Aravaipa Canyon for several years on a variety of projects to increase watershed health along this perennial riparian area. Recently we’ve been working on addressing the threat of invasive periwinkle (Vinca major) throughout the canyon. During this trip we will continue our work to eradicate periwinkle from the riparian understory of the creek banks. Additionally\, we will be removing vinca from longer-term study plots that we are managing with the University of Arizona and the National Park Service. This will require digging and fastidious removal of vegetative material and roots with tools provided by Sky Island Alliance. We’ll be bending\, cutting\, digging\, getting dirty\, and getting wet. We will be working to clear vinca right along the banks of the creek\, meaning that we will be wading in and out of the water throughout each day. \nTO REGISTER CLICK HERE! \nWHAT TO EXPECT:\nThe Nature Conservancy (TNC) has donated the use of the Aravaipa Canyon Preserve guesthouse\, nestled right along Aravaipa Creek. TNC’s Aravaipa Canyon Preserve guesthouse has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms\, with showers and a full kitchen (with basic implements). There is also a screened sleeping porch\, and a bunkhouse with two rooms with beds. You may choose to sleep on a bed (bring your own comfy bedding) or camp under the stars in your tent. Beds will be first-come/first serve\, unless you let us know that you need to have priority\, and there are no single-occupancy rooms available. \n\nBring your own meals for the weekend – a minimum of 2 breakfasts\, 2 lunches\, and 2 dinners\, with snacks.\nPotable water is available onsite\, along with communal refrigerator space.\nBe prepared to unplug – there is no cellphone or internet service at Aravaipa Canyon.\nBring work clothes and appropriate close-toed shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty and wet. You will also want sandals or water shoes for our work in the creek.\nIt will be cold while we are there! Please come prepared for cold nights and cold water!\n\nPlease note that we are working at The Nature Conservancy Aravaipa Canyon Preserve\, NOT in the BLM Aravaipa Wilderness Area. You may not enter the BLM Wilderness Area without a permit (available here: https://www.recreation.gov/). Visitors to the Wilderness Area are carefully managed to protect the wildlife and other natural resources; unauthorized visitation to the Wilderness Area puts SIA’s relationships in jeopardy and will not be tolerated. Don’t worry\, though – there is plenty of beautiful creek to explore at the TNC Aravaipa Canyon Preserve! \nLOCATION:\nAravaipa Canyon is located in the northern Galiuro Mountains and only a few miles from the Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness. The Preserve is only 50 miles northeast of Tucson\, Arizona as the bird flies (approximately 3 to 3.5 hours drive from Tucson or Phoenix). “Not only does the ranch sit over the main aquifer that supplies Aravaipa Creek\, it’s also an important corridor for wildlife traveling from the Galiuro Mountains to the Santa Teresa Mountains\,” says the Preserve’s manager\, Mark Haberstich. With over 10 miles of perennial water\, Aravaipa Canyon is a rare riparian jewel in southern Arizona; it is an important tributary to the Lower San Pedro River. We always see a variety of wildlife in Aravaipa Canyon\, you will want to have your binoculars! For more information about the Preserve:\nhttp://www.nature.org/ourinitiatives/regions/northamerica/unitedstates/arizona/placesweprotect/aravaipa-canyon-preserve.xml \nWe will be working on the EAST SIDE of the canyon\, at the headwaters of the perennial creek. \nGETTING THERE:\nDuring monsoon season\, a high-clearance vehicle is strongly encouraged. There are 2-3 wet wash crossings (yes\, there is perennial water!) before arriving at the guesthouse. \nOption 1:\nMeet at the SIA office at 406 S 4th Ave to caravan/carpool to Aravaipa Canyon at 2:30 pm on Friday. We have limited room for passengers in vehicles – please let us know ahead of time if you need a ride so we can ensure space for everyone (or if you’d like to drive your personal vehicle and have space for a passenger). \nWe will head east on 1-10 toward Willcox (and a bathroom break) before heading off toward the northwest for the canyon. The last 40 miles or so are on a well-maintained dirt road. \nOption 2: \nIf you have been there before and would like to meet us out there\, just let us know when to expect you on Friday evening. \nFrom Tucson: (155 miles) Take I-10 east to Willcox exit 340. Turn left onto Fort Grant Road and go north 30 miles to Bonita. Turn left onto Klondyke Road and go 32 miles to Klondyke. Preserve entrance is seven miles past Klondyke. The last 38 miles is a gravel road and subject to closure during wet weather. \nFrom Phoenix: (190 miles) Take Highway 60 east to Globe\, then U.S. 70 south to Fort Thomas. Travel eight miles past Fort Thomas and turn right onto Klondyke Road. Travel 28 miles to Klondyke. Preserve entrance is seven miles past Klondyke. The last 38 miles is a gravel road and subject to closure during wet weather. \nTRIP LOGISTICS\n\nFriday 2:30 PM: Meet with SIA staff at our office to carpool to the TNC Guesthouse.\nFriday 6:00 PM: If you would like to meet SIA at the guesthouse\, you may arrive after 6:00 PM on Friday. Follow our green SIA arrow sign for the correct turnoff.\nSaturday 8:00 AM: Be prepared to go over the day’s work and head out. We will work throughout the day with a break for lunch.\nSunday 8:00 AM: Get started on the day’s work. We will finish up by early afternoon and then head back to Tucson.\nSunday 6:00 PM: We will be back to our Tucson office by 6:00 PM Sunday.\n\nPLEASE NOTE:\nTHIS IS A FAMILY-FRIENDLY TRIP; LET US KNOW IF YOU PLAN TO BRING ANY YOUNGSTERS AND IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL CONCERNS.\nUnfortunately\, pets are not allowed on this trip. \nIf you have further questions\, please email Meagan Bethel at: meagan@skyislandalliance.org \nTO REGISTER CLICK HERE!
