SUMMARY:Close old mines in Tucson Mountain Park
DESCRIPTION:Historic mining exploration in Tucson Mountain Park left behind dozens of open pits. These holes trap and kill wildlife—reptiles\, mammals\, birds—and they create serious hazards for people hiking and recreating in the park. Over the 2024-25 season\, volunteers closed 15 of these features by hand. We’re doing it again this year! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHERE: Tucson Mountain Park \nWHEN: Saturday\, October 17 | 7:30 – 11:30 AM \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You’ll Be Doing \n\n\n\n\nYou’ll be filling mine holes: shoveling\, picking\, moving rock and dirt. The work is straightforward and you don’t need experience. You do need to be physically capable of sustained manual labor: digging\, bending\, hauling. \nWhat You Need to Know \nThis is demanding work in the desert\, on rocky ground around open pits. Wear close-toed boots\, long pants\, and long sleeves. Bring water\, snacks\, and sunscreen. Pima County will provide tools\, gloves\, dust masks\, and refreshments; bring your own if you prefer. \nWe’ll meet at a site in Tucson Mountain Park at 7:00 AM. (Details forthcoming for those who RSVP).  \nWho’s Organizing This \nThis is a coordinated effort between the Pima County Conservation Lands and Resources Department\, the Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection\, and the Tucson Herpetological Society. \nWhy It Matters \nEvery hole we close is wildlife we save and a safety hazard we remove. Last season\, 15 volunteers made a measurable difference. With your help we can do more.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP today!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact Brian Powell for more information and to RSVP: brianforbespowell@gmail.com
