Neighborhood Leader Workshop with Watershed Management Group

"Build Your Own Basin" Neighborhood Leader Workshop

Save the date for Saturday, August 26!

Includes a take-home kit for each household.

In this workshop, you will learn the fundamental steps to Build Your Own Basin (BYOB) and plant a rain garden. This workshop is led by Andrea Salazar, WMG's Community Restoration Project Manager, and they will give you a step by step lesson on how to build your own basin in your yard to capture rain and plant a native shade tree.

Everyone who participates in this workshop qualifies to receive one of our BYOB kits, which includes a native tree, shrub, grasses, wildflower seeds, and mulch. With your participation in this workshop, you can take home a BYOB Kit before you leave our Living Lab and Learning Center. (1 kit per household).

After this initial workshop, neighbors who attend will go on to host another workshop at their home and build another basin with other neighbors, spreading the education and sharing the work amongst yourselves. WMG and myself would continue to support the workshops by providing plants, tools and educational support.

Email us info@paloverdeneighborhood.org to sign up to participate. (Your contact information will be passed along to the organizers.)

2022 Neighborhood Leaders Training:

Help Address Food Insecurity in Palo Verde

Did you know Tucson has a food insecurity issue? According to University of Arizona research, Tucson ranks second only behind Colorado Springs in the Western states with approximately 12% of households in a food crisis. But what about Palo Verde Neighborhood (PVN) - our neighborhood - could there be neighbors in need? Families, veterans, or seniors? Let’s find out.

The PVNA Board would like to look at food insecurity in our neighborhood. The team will start their research by looking at City of Tucson programs, what other neighborhoods are doing, and by defining the PVN need. Then we will consider a variety of options to reduce (or eliminate) food insecurity in our PVN.

A team has begun to form. Would you like to join for the initial meetings? Email your PVNA Southwest Quadrant Rep Nancy at pvnaswquad@gmail.com if you are interested in learning more or joining this effort.
