Trail Maintenance at Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Area

October 12, 2024

07:45 AM - 10:00 AM MST

Phoenix Platoon

Event overview

We will once again be convening at Rio Salado Habitat Area to perform a variety of tasks including trail mitigation, undergrowth removal, clipping dead brittlebush, cleaning up "trash trees" and clearing out dead palm trees. We may also be painting so please wear clothes that can get dirty and painted. Definitely wear closed toe shoes. PLEASE NOTE: SOMETIMES DIGITAL NAVIGATION TAKES VOLUNTEERS TO THE WRONG LOCATION. THE TRAILHEAD IS ON THE EAST SIDE OF 7TH AVENUE JUST SOUTH OF 1-17. Because we will be working in the river bottom, on rocky ground and trails please only register youth who are 12 years or older. Given the nature of the area there are potential hazards including wildlife and trash. Sunscreen, water and work gloves will be provided. We will be walking about 1/4 mile from the parking lot to the work site on a paved path. The Mission Continues believes in the power of every individual to make a difference. If you're passionate about giving back to the community and making a positive impact, we invite you to join us. From hands-on tasks to behind-the-scenes roles, there's something for everyone. No matter your physical capabilities, there's a place for you in our service projects. Together, let's build a more inclusive and compassionate world.
