Desert Fence Busters

February 21, 2025 @ 8:00 am - February 22, 2025 @ 5:00 pm

Join the Desert Fence Busters to removed outdated and dangerous barbed wire for wildlife!

Unless otherwise noted in the shift details email, we will meet at 7:30am and will work until 4pm; but we welcome folks to join us in the morning and work for whatever duration you’re able. We will break for lunch where snacks will be provided and an informal discussion of wildlife connectivity through Pima County will be led by organizers.

We will primarily be working on removing stretches of fence that are no longer required on lands managed by the City of Tucson, Pima County, and the National Park Service. Most of the events will occur in Avra Valley (west of the Tucson Mountains), but some may occur in other locations through Pima County. This is important work to remove barriers to wildlife movement, particularly between large intact habitat blocks. You will be helping accomplish a positive and lasting improvement to the landscape and directly help wildlife by increasing connectivity between protected open spaces!
