National Public Lands Day volunteer clean-up at Tumacácori National Historical Park

Share on:

Join NPCA on National Public Lands Day to give back to Tumacácori National Historical Park. Help us remove a season's worth of litter from the Santa Cruz River along the park’s De Anza Trail. Trash in Arizona’s creeks and rivers is not only unsightly – it pollutes the water and creates hazardous habitat for wildlife dependent upon this precious water.
