Celebrate Save Our Saguaros Month by joining us for a large-scale clean-up and river restoration event at the beautiful Santa Cruz River Park. This Day of Connection will focus on healing, fun, and community engagement to protect and restore one of Tucson’s most cherished waterways.

The Santa Cruz River is at the heart of Tucson’s natural beauty and community. By participating, you’ll be helping to protect our saguaros, native plants, and wildlife while building connections with fellow river lovers.

Let’s make this a day of action, healing, and celebration. We hope to see you there!
