Tribal Climate Camp 2023

Event Type: In Person

Start Date: 

End Date: 

Contact Info: Chas Jones: cjones@atnitribes.org

Location: Ghost Ranch, NM

Topic: Asserting Tribal Sovereignty through Climate Planning

Tribal Climate Camp gets more refined every year and builds on previous knowledge, input delegates and instructors, and experiences of steering committee members in developing similar trainings.

The overall goal of TCC is to build the capacity of tribal leader teams to address climate change and associated economic, social, cultural, regulatory, and technological trends and impacts within their tribes, between tribes and between tribes and other governments, through strategic alliances with partners across Indian Country and globally.

TCC is designed for early career tribal environmental professionals who have been assigned with some level of responsibility for leading a climate change program, or professionals who know they are about to be assigned.

Join our community effort to restore Tanque Verde Creek! WMG’s River Run Network is excited to tackle the removal of an invasive species, Arundo donax (giant reed), from along Tanque Verde Creek in east Tucson. Arundo is harmful because it drinks up to 3-4 times as much water as native desert plants, crowds out native species and habitat, and increases the risk of flooding and wildfire. By removing Arundo, the River Run Network is helping to restore groundwater levels and surface flow in the Tanque Verde. In late 2023, we will also begin phase two of this project: replanting native riparian trees and shrubs in many of the areas we have removed Arundo.

Come work with WMG staff and other River Run Network volunteers in a beautiful riparian area to remove this invasive species and contribute to the restoration of surface flows and the riparian forest. All of these workshops are outside and including rough terrain. You will be walking and working in sandy, rocky, possibly wet soils, and navigating through riparian environments as well as using tools and moving heavy Arundo stalks.
