SUMMARY:Tucson Chapter Field Trip: Rainwater Harvesting and Native Plants
DESCRIPTION:Field Trip – Rainwater Harvesting and Native Plants \nSaturday 23 August 2025\, 730 am to 930 am \nMeet on the northwest side of the Casa Del Rio parking lot at 1060 S. Pantano Road (one block north of 22nd Street\, west side of Pantano) \nLimit: 12 participants. RSVP to tucsonaznpstrips@gmail.com \n \nJoin Jennifer Patton and Ben Wilder of Wilder Landscape Architects on a tour of a recently constructed streetside stormwater harvesting project. This project\, funded by the City of Tucson’s Storm to Shade program\, features twenty-four species of container grown native plants including four species of grasses\, and a seed mix consisting of an additional thirty-three native species (12 of those grasses). Learn how the City is putting roadway runoff to work on City-owned parcels to grow shade. \nWilder will provide an overview of the project\, and provide identification tips for the following grasses that you will see: \n\n Hilaria mutica\, tobosa grass\nDigitaria californica\,Arizona cottontop\n Pappophorum vaginatum\, whiplash pappus grass\n Sporobolus airoides\, alkali sacaton\n\nIf we are lucky\, there will also be successful germination of the numerous native plant species that were seeded\, and we can have fun identifying those as well. \nWe will not park or walk on busy roadways but bring a reflective vest if you have one. \nTo learn more about Storm to Shade and see the projects that are underway\, visit https://climateaction.tucsonaz.gov/pages/gsi  \n
