Volunteering - Friends of the Verde River Greenway
Pollinators are pillars of native ecosystems and they are in decline. Friends
of Verde River Greenway is designing, planting and maintaining several
pollinator gardens in the Verde Valley. We will be hosting volunteer
weeding/planting days at Shield Ranch, in partnership with The Nature
Conservancy.
Click here to RSVP!
Meet
at Shield Ranch. From Camp Verde, head east on Highway 260 (about 5
miles from I-17) then take a R on Sierra Verde Rd. That road winds
around to become Sierra Land and then Pearce Lane. Look for a sign for
Shills Crossing, make a left and you come to West Clear Creek-cross over
the creek and look for signs.
Bring
a lunch, water, sun hat, close-toed shoes and clothes that are
comfortable to work in. We will provide tools, snacks and interesting
facts about pollinators!
Native Grass Planting Project at Rezzonico Park
Friday, October 13, 2017
The
Friends of Verde River Greenway, with support from the Nature
Conservancy (TNC), will be planting a native grass demonstration field
to increase public interest in landscaping with drought tolerant native
plants to increase water conservation efforts. We are partnering with
the Town of Camp Verde at Rezzonico Park (across from the public
library) to grow a half-acre of wild-collected native grasses to
showcase the production of drought tolerant native grasses for the
public. The proposed half-acre grass field will be comprised of
wild-collected native grasses from the area, including blue gramma, cane
bluestem, sand dropseed, giant sacaton, and bull grass. These grasses
will increase wildlife habitat, including food for birds, nesting
habitat for pollinators, reduce bare ground, and beautify Rezzonico Park
with native plants.
Click here to RSVP
Meet at Rezzonico Park (next to the Camp Verde Library 130 Black Bridge Loop Rd, Camp Verde).
Bring a lunch, water, sun hat, close-toed shoes and clothes that are
comfortable to work in. We will provide refill water, snacks, tools and
supplies, and fun facts about native grass.
