SUMMARY:Roadway cleanup by the wildlife crossings
DESCRIPTION:We have adopted Oracle Road / State Route 77 from milepost 83 to 84\, as part of Arizona’s Adopt-A-Highway campaign. This section of the road encompasses one of the wildlife crossings that was recently completed. We want to demonstrate our stewardship for the area with regular highway cleanups. \nWe meet at the parking lot just off Oracle Road on East Vistoso Commerce Loop Road. Driving north on Oracle Road\, turn left on East Vistoso Commerce Loop Road. The parking lot will be your first left and we will meet at the north edge of the lot. \nWe  provide breakfast food\, coffee\, and water to refill your water bottles. We ask that volunteers bring their own reusable water bottles and coffee mugs. \nThis is a great opportunity to check out the crossing locations firsthand and to get all the up-to-date information about the progress of the wildlife crossings! We will also be on the lookout for signs of wildlife to document their use of the area. \nPlease contact Hannah at hannah.stitzer@sonorandesert.org with questions. We hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Tortolita BIOBLITZ
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with Town of Marana Parks & Recreation\, Arizona Master Naturalists\, the Tortolita Alliance\, Arizona Game and Fish Department\, and others\, CSDP  is hosting the first annual BIOBLITZ for Tortolita Preserve. Help us photograph and record as many plant and animal observations in iNaturalist in one day as we can! How many species will we find? This data will help us protect this special place\, currently a preserve under a long-term (but not permanent) lease from State Lands. \nWhat is a BioBlitz?\n \nA BioBlitz an event to inventory as many species as possible in a specific area during a specific time frame. Using apps like iNaturalist and eBird on smartphones\, community scientists and biologists alike can collect high quality data by snapping pictures of wildlife and plants and having those observations verified by others. Data collected during a BioBlitz can be used to gain a stronger understanding of the ecosystem and may inform future research and management decisions. A BioBlitz is also an important opportunity for community members to learn about plants and wildlife\, gain data collection skills\, and build a stronger connection to the landscape. This is a family friendly event! \nCALLING VOLUNTEERS! \nSign up today at the event webpage. Click on the “More” button next to the Tortolita BioBlitz event and sign up for free for the time slot that works for you! \nCSDP’s Conservation Science Director Jessica Moreno will be leading the “Tracks\, Scat\, and Sign Survey” at 7am. That specific event sign-up can be found here.  \n
