River Run Network Restoration
Tanque Verde Plant Survey
On May 2, 2024, Living Desert Alliance Members joined Watershed Management Group's Tanque Verde Plant Survey.
The group, led by WMG Staff Becky Fitzpatrick, conducted plant surveys as part of WMG's River Run Network Restoration Arundo removal efforts to better understand how these areas will change over time.
Together, we mapped and collected plant data from seven areas along the creek by applying a method called plant transects. After measuring a 21-foot circle the group identified native and non-native plants within that circle. Special attention was placed on the water-thirsty and fast growing Arundo plant and the overcrowding dangerous Stink Weed.
It was a great opportunity to use plant identification skills and learn about the riparian plants in the desert. This effort helps to collect data that will be used for many years to track the changes and health of the Tanque Verde Creek, and it's a wonderful way to spend the morning helping our environment while meeting like-minded folks who love and appreciate our beautiful Sonoran Desert.
