Beautifying Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Area

October 21, 2023

07:45 AM - 10:00 AM MST

Phoenix Platoon

Event overview

Join us for our second project with Park Ranger Louie at the Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Area. We will be doing a variety of beautification tasks including painting over graffiti and invasive vegatation removal. We will meet at the listed address, which is a trailhead for the park and has restrooms. Look for blue TMC t-shirts and our banner. Water will be provided but you must bring a refillable water bottle. There is about a 1/4 mile trail walk to the project sites and we will be negotiating rough terrain (river rocks, mud, debris) at the project sites. Please dress in clothes and shoes that can get dirty/muddy. Not a project for anyone under 10 years of age. There will be shade as we will be working under and around the 7th Avenue bridge.

Who We Are

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.
