Invasive Grass From The Air
Our good friend Jim Horn was kind enough to take some drone video of invasive grass proliferation in hard to reach spots near the Upper Javelina Trail. Bufflegrass and Soft Feather Pappusgrass are the most prolific.
Tortolita Preserve Damage
After more than a year of no Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) incidents in the Tortolita Preserve (TP), we've had a few disturbing incidents recently. See photo of OHV damage to cactus and shrubs. This is why the western portion of TP needs to be fenced!
If you hear or see OHV trespassing in the TP, please call the Marana PD and let us know.
Tortolita Preserve BioBlitz
TA met with Marana Parks & Recreation, Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection, AZ Game & Fish and Pima Naturalists on 2/10 to continue planning for the BioBlitz (natural resource survey). The first BioBlitz is tentatively being scheduled for November. Stayed tuned for more information in the months ahead.
