Rock Ledge Spring Restoration

KGUN 9 visited the site and Andrew Christianson held an interview with Sarah Truebe explaining the project.

Restoring Rock Ledge

Sabino Springs, in parnership with Sky Island Alliance, started to restore the Rock Ledge Spring in our community in June 2024 via a 3 year grant secured by Sky Island Alliance. A hardy group of over 70 volunteers along with Sarah Truebe & Bryon Lichtenhan of Sky Island Alliance have been clearing the area Arundo donax  that has been growing at the spring for over 50 years.  The Arundo roots have 5 layers and in well established areas are 24″ deep. Restoration of this spring is truly a labor of love and is a hidden gem in our neighborhood!
