Help remove Bufflegrass from the El Rio Preserve. Volunteers are needed to help combat invasive plants that are threatening our beloved saguaros. The main villain is buffelgrass, an invasive grass species that has established a strong foothold in the Tucson Basin. Buffelgrass outcompetes saguaros for space, nutrients and water. It also poses a serious fire risk.
