The Dirt Bags of Patagonia have completed their work for the season, creating new trails and maintaining existing ones. Their expertise has made hiking safer and more enjoyable in the Sonoita Creek Watershed. As a token of our appreciation, the Friends of Sonoita Creek gave them these dashing Dirt Bag caps. Thank you, Dirt Bags.

Healthy Water Education Program resurrected on May 1 at PLSP
Kathy Pasierb, a writer of the original curriculum, and John Hughes, with the support of the rangers at Patagonia Lake State Park, are presenting the Healthy Water Education Program to a class of 6th graders on May 1. The students will learn about water quality and its role for a healthy environment. The program was written by Kathy for Friends of Sonoita Creek and by rangers and educators from the State Parks. The program matches science requirements in the State curriculum. We are hoping that the program will once again be available to teachers and classes of students.
