A combination of eight grasses native to Southeastern Arizona were planted in a field at the city waste water treatment facility totaling 27.5 acres. This is the first phase of a multi-phased project, covering more that 190 acres, converting former alfalfa fields to native grasses. The established native grasses will increase the recharge potential of the fields and provide a means of erosion control. The project will also provide a local seed bank for the other fields at the facility and for other regional field restoration projects.
