SNRE Service Project at Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve

On Saturday April 9th, 2011 graduate students from SNRE assisted the Nature Conservancy in removing invasive species from the Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve. Students spent three hours removing Tree of Heaven plants in an attempt to promote the establishment of native seedlings such as Black Walnut. In addition to this, students surveyed the area along Sonoita Creek identifying invasive Pampas Grass and removing one large plant. SNRE graduate students hope to provide more of these opportunities for students to engage themselves with each other and the community in the future.
