Oro Valley Buffel Busters

Buffelgrass and Fountain Grass “PULLS," help in the removal of Invasive Grasses.  Volunteers are needed to help cut and dig out these invasive grasses. 

Volunteers are needed from 7 - 10 a.m. every second Saturday of the month, unless otherwise noted.  (Please come at your convenience between this time).

There will be a 5 - 10 minute safety briefing and information about the grasses starting at 7 a.m. prior to the “PULL.”

Tools & bags are provided, but wear sturdy boots, hat, work gloves, long-sleeve shirts, long pants and sunscreen and bring plenty of water. If you have shovels and bars please bring them with you.

Please keep in mind students 13 years and under must have their parent or legal guardian present with them during the pull and they must sign the Town's “Hold Harmless Waiver" form. Students 14-17 years of age must have a signed “Hold Harmless Waiver" form by their parent or guardian prior to the pull and bring it with them.
