Volunteer: EARTH MONTH Rio Salado Clean-upIn celebration of Earth Month and APS’s 140th anniversary, join us for a Rio Salado cleanup on Wednesday, April 29, from 7:00 AM to 9:30 AM. We will gather at the Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Area, NE Central Trailhead parking lot to clear litter. Volunteers will be walking the river corridor and hiking trails to help protect local wildlife. What to bring: Tools, bags and gloves will be available; bring your own work gloves if you have them. Wear proper attire for being outdoors and in the sun, i.e. hat and sunscreen. Some water and snacks will be provided, please bring lunch or additional food you may want. Minor children must be accompanied and supervised by a parent or guardian throughout the project.Parking space is limited - please carpool when possible.The NE Central Trailhead is located at: 2439 S Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85004 Volunteers will check-in at the parking lot. Questions? Contact volunteer@azgfd.gov or 602-526-2004. Why? Improperly disposed fishing line and garbage can be consumed by, or entangle, many animals including mammals and migratory birds. Regular cleanups can prevent ospreys, bald eagles, waterfowl, and pets from encountering dangerous and often lethal entanglement. After needing to rescue an eagle nestling last year, which required months of rehabilitation prior to release back to the wild, Arizona Public Service (APS) has volunteered to work on coordinating fishing line cleanup events at various locations throughout the state in honor of their 140th birthday!
