PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
Special Symposium - Agua Dulce Santa Cruz River Heritage Project
Field Trip to Paseo de las Iglesias River Park and Restoration Site
This year's special symposium will highlight the Agua Dulce Santa Cruz River Heritage Project, a concept proposed by Tucson Water that would restore flows to the downtown stretch of the Santa Cruz River. Learn more about this proposal, the history of this stretch of the river, and what such a project will have to consider to be completed.
Join us for a guided tour of Pima County's Paseo de las Iglesias River Park - an environmental restoration project completed along the Santa Cruz River between Ajo Way and Silverlake Road. This project had three overarching goals - reduce erosion potential, restore habitat, and provide recreational and cultural education opportunities.
