VIL feb 09 GRID.indd - Tubac Villager

Thursdays - Farmers Market at the Plaza de
Anza from 10am to 2pm.
Fridays- Live Music at Wisdom’s Cafe.
Saturdays & Sunday, now thru April 26th
- River Walks at the Tumacácori National
Historical Park. The walks will be led by a
park ranger or volunteer every Saturday and
Sunday beginning
at 9:30am. The
River Walks will
last 1 ½ hours,
returning to the
park in time for
the 11am tour
of the mission
grounds. The
walks begin at
the park’s Visitor
Center and follow
a section of the
Juan Bautista de
Anza National
Historic Trail for
about half a mile,
to the river’s edge.
The trail is fl at
and easy to walk.
Participants will
need comfortable
shoes and water.
Discussions
during the walks
may include
several themes,
including the
O’Odham people,
missions and
settlement,
plant and animal
identifi cation,
the mesquitebosque
(forest)
and riparian environments, and current
issues related to the Santa Cruz River. The
Santa Cruz River is an excellent example
of the endangered southwestern riparian
environment. Not only is the Santa Cruz a
beautiful oasis for nature-lovers, it provides
a critical habitat for abundant wildlife that
live in, and migrate through, the Santa
Cruz Valley. Although the guided walk will
return to the mission by 11, participants
may chose to continue on their own along
the Anza Trail, which continues north for
four miles to Tubac. The walk closely follows
the river and crosses in three places on
narrow bridges. However the trail is level,
and walking, although sandy, is relatively
easy. Because the area is rich in wildlife,
particularly birds, binoculars are useful. For
information about the guided walks, call
Tumacácori National Historical Park at 520-
398-2341, ext. 0.
