Arizona Riparian Council
Fall Meeting at
OX Ranch/Date Creek Ranch
October 25 & 26, 2008 – Saturday & Sunday

Please join us at the Arizona Riparian Council’s Fall meeting. At this year’s meeting we will camp at the OX Ranch, which is located about an hour northwest of Wickenburg along Date Creek. On Saturday afternoon, we will learn about the restoration techniques that have been implemented on the ranches. The results of a recent Rapid Stream-Riparian Assessment (RSRA) of Date Creek will also be presented by our RSRA Team.

After the speakers we will have some free time to explore. The Council will provide dinner which will be a cookout of hamburgers or veggie burgers and fixin's. Please provide your own lunches (Sat/Sun) and breakfast Sunday morning. On Sunday we will hike Date Creek downstream to Date Creek Ranch, which will involve wet feet. Transportation will be arranged back to the starting point on OX Ranch.

Please indicate on the registration form if you want a veggie burger. A $15/adult and $10/child fee (children under 10 are free) should be mailed to Cindy Zisner for you and your family – kids are definitely invited, however, there is a NO PETS policy so you will have to leave your four-footed kids at home. We need to know how many people to plan for so please register by Friday, October 17

Please make your check payable to the Arizona Riparian Council. You may pay online through Paypal, but there is an additional $0.75 charge. Please indicate on the registration form if you have paid through Paypal. If you are using the PayPal option please still submit the registration form electronically. For those using a check please submit electronically and by mail with your check.
