BEAUTY FROM ASHES RANCH

We were recently made aware of this wonderful sanctuary about to open from a former Santa Cruz Valley resident. This is the only long-term recovery housing for sex trafficked survivors in ALL of Southern Arizona (Yuma, Santa Cruz, Pinal, Pima, Cochise, Greenlee, and Graham Counties). If you would like to help please check out their website.

Tumacácori National Historical Park

Tumacácori is a cultural crossroads in Arizona’s Santa Cruz River valley where O’odham, Yaqui and Apache people lived until European Jesuit and Franciscan missionaries, settlers, and soldiers arrived.

"The cultural and natural resources at Tumacácori National Historical Park tell an important story about local Native American communities and the intersection with Spanish exploration, as well as the human connection to the desert lands of southern Arizona,” says Mike Medrano, Superintendent. 

Just down the street from Wisdom's, our national park is a wonder and hosts numerous special events throughout the year.

Entrance to the park costs $10 per adult, free for federal pass holders and children under 16. For more information, call 520-377-5060 or visit 

www.nps.gov/tuma

For more information about park events and activities, call Tumacácori National Historical Park at 520-377-5060, or visit the park website, at nps.gov/tuma.

I was asked to share with you that rat poison is killing animals that eat the rats that have ingested the poison. (Round Up is another killer of our pets and wildlife).

Please consider finding another way to handle your rat problem in order to protect your sweet pets and our beautiful wildlife. And many have successfully gardened organically for 25 years without ever using weed or insect killers by attracting birds (tall water fountain and never birdseed) and by planting native plants that attract natural predators. Pulling weeds after it rains is also most effective!

Here is a link to some non-poison ideas for rat problems:
