UA Water Partnership to Host Oct. 6 Tucson Village Farm Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
The Water Resources Research Center’s Arizona Project WET and Conserve2Enhance (C2E) programs have partnered with Tucson Water, SmartScape and Tucson Village Farm to help create unique opportunities for water education at the Farm.
Join the UA Water Partnership, Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild and Arizona Cooperative Extension Director Jeff Silvertooth from 9 – 10:30 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 6 for a special ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate wise and purposeful water use in Tucson! The ceremony will be held at the Farm's Pima County Extension Office (4210 N. Campbell Ave., Tucson).
The ceremony will kick off with informal Farm tours, followed by remarks from Mayor Rothschild and Silvertooth. After the ribbon cutting, representatives from C2E, Arizona Project WET, SmartScape and Tucson Village Farm and Tucson Water will discuss collaborative efforts to bring water education to Farm visitors.
Through the UA Water Partnership, the Farm now features signage provided by the C2E program that explains how water conservation is put to use in the gardens. Visiting students can also construct a water harvesting system and measure amounts of water collected thanks to this partnership and Tucson Water's financial support of the Arizona Project WET and SmartScape programs.
