Community Conservation in Action: Building Rain Basins with Barrio Restoration

Join us as we dive into the heart of community conservation in Tucson's Fairgrounds Neighborhood. Watch David Garcia, a passionate Water Harvesting Design Certification graduate, lead a vibrant group of volunteers, including WMG staff and local residents, in transforming a neglected space into a thriving rain garden.
David and his team are not just beautifying the neighborhood; they're implementing sustainable water practices learned through WMG's courses to enhance urban ecology. Witness the transformation from bare dirt to a flourishing garden designed to harvest rainwater, support native plant life, and create a cooler, greener community space.
This project not only beautifies the neighborhood but also serves as a functional rainwater harvesting model that benefits the local ecosystem and educates the community on sustainable practices.
