Volunteer Wildlife Water Project
2 New Water Catchments in Unit 36A
Mile Post 33 and 28 on the east side of highway 286. (Sasabe Highway south of Three Points, AZ)
The Amado Catchment and Enriquez Catchment are named after the contractors who are donating their equipment for the projects. Both projects will be built simultaneously so we will need volunteers to help at each site. Each catchment is a newly constructed wildlife water catchment that will have over a 9,000 gallon storage capacity that will create a year round reliable water source for all wildlife. The money used to purchase materials for this project came from sportsman’s dollars (license fees, Governor’s tag and the Super Raffle). The project was a priority for the Tucson Habitat Partnership Committee (a group of local sportsman who work with the department to improve conditions for wildlife) and with your support, be an oasis for wildlife for many years to come.
Build Schedule (Crews will begin early (7ish) everyday)
