The Gila Watershed Partnership invites all members of the public to attend our next
First Friday Volunteer Event and Social, October 3. The activity is called Planting for
Restoration. Participants can learn about the native plants along our beloved Gila River, and
will help our crew make root cages and plant native plants at one of our riverside sites. Meet
at the Gila Native Plants Nursery at Discovery Park Campus of EAC at 7 am for a ride out to
the site, with a return time of 11 am. A light breakfast will be provided.
If you’re already a GWP volunteer, you’re interested in volunteering, or you just want
to see what’s going on at the Gila Watershed Partnership, RSVP to info@gwpaz.org. Seats in
the van are limited. Participants may also caravan in their own vehicles. Four wheel drive is
recommended.
First Friday Volunteer Socials have been a popular way to give to our organization,
and learn more about what we do. This summer, volunteers went to the field to fling
mudballs during the monsoon, a fun and easy way to get seed into our planting areas. The
needs are many, and the volunteers are few – why don’t you add your name to the list? Join
us on the first Friday of most months to learn and do at Gila Watershed Partnership.
