Volunteers work to tame erosion, improve washes in Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge, home to endangered masked bobwhite quail.
Eva-Marie Hube For the Arizona Daily Star Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge lies about 60 miles southwest of Tucson on Arizona Highway 286.
The nonprofit Altar Valley Conservation Alliance recently collaborated with the wildlife refuge on an erosion control and restoration workshop in the refuge. Reducing erosion helps improve both water quality and retention, says Omar Ore-Giron, one of the restoration experts who led the workshop with the alliance.
The workshop continued the efforts of Bill Zeedyk, a retired U.S. Forest Service wildlife biologist and riparian restoration expert, consultant and author. In 2016, Zeedyk surveyed the entire refuge and identified some sites that would be of high value for restoration. Much of the work was done by hand with some assistance from a backhoe loader to move larger quantities of material.
“So the refuge is funding this project, and the alliance manages it, which is really cool,” Guglielmo said. “The refuge has been helping us to get all the different clearances, do some of the planning, and helped us identify the priority areas to work in.”
