When
Watershed Management Group is partnering with Tucson Village Farm to host our Bat Walk! The Rillito River is home to many different creatures that use Tucson’s watersheds and bridges as habitat. One of these cool critters is the Mexican Free-Tailed Bat (Tadarida brasiliensis). Just before sunset, these nocturnal mammals wake up from their siesta and take flight, flitting around our city and munching mosquitos as well as pollinating many of our native plants! In addition to learning about our charismatic chiropterans, we will be picking up trash on this exciting and informative Creek Walk along the Rillito River. The event will be led by David Rollings, Americorps Intern at Tucson Village Farm, Cindy Hu, WMG’s Community & Youth Engagement Manager, and Joaquin Murrieta, WMG’s Cultural Ecologist and bat enthusiast!
WMG will provide the bags, grabbers, and gloves for trash pick up. This will be a physically distanced, mask-on event. This event is limited to 20 people.
