Dear Readers,
New report shows Sabino Creek is worth millions!
When we measure the value of Sabino Creek as we would other community assets, such as a bridge or building, we found Sabino Creek has a net value of $146 million – $230 million over a 100-year lifespan!
The Value of Ecosystem Services in Lower Sabino Creek
When we measure the value of Sabino Creek as we would other community assets, such as a bridge or building, Sabino Creek has a net value of $146 million – $230 million over a 100-year lifespan! This staggering number comes from a recent economic analysis conducted by Seattle-based nonprofit Earth Economics in partnership with WMG.

Flow365: Sabino and Tanque Verde Creeks
You can help revive Southern Arizona's heritage of flowing desert rivers and create a better, wetter environment for plants, critters, and people. Yeah, we know—this is a bold idea. But that's never stopped us before!
Celebrate the flow with us!—looking back at Tanque Verde Flow and Feast
As spring makes its slow transition into summer, we finally have a minute to look back on the flurry of fun and excitement of April.
Our Flow365 plan ensures year-round flow in Sabino!
Since the 1950s, Lower Sabino Creek has experienced declining groundwater levels and reduced stream flow. As much as we’d like to “wave a wand” and bring back perennial flow to Sabino Creek, a river does not flow by magic. There is hard science involved—so we worked with our partners to develop this flow budget and get a clear picture of the dynamics at work.
We may not be magicians, but with our data and on-the-ground strategies pointing the way, the fantastic sight of a free-flowing Sabino Creek seems more realistic than ever!
200+ days of flow in Sabino Creek!
