Dear Readers,
Take a stand for Mother Nature. It’s been a wonderful start to 2019 for Oak Creek Watershed Council, but we couldn’t have done it without you, our loyal supporters who see the importance of protecting our local waterways. Please consider this official day of giving as an opportunity to directly impact your community and desert environment.
We invite you to join us in protecting our local creeks and streams, and acknowledging that you can have a huge impact on Arizona’s future water sources. Now more than ever, your support matters. This year, you can directly support our Ambassador program. Help us meet our goal of $3,000, which will allow our Ambassadors to regularly cleanup creek sites and make essential visitor contact along the creek. Additionally, your support will allow us to get new supplies needed for educating the public, improving our programs.
Thank you for taking a stand with us, and for appreciating this rare, invaluable treasure of Arizona.
