Greetings from the “NEW” Conservation Corner!
Zoom webinar on Feb. 10 or Feb. 24 at 10:00 am. Your 4’ - 6’ saplings will be available for pick-up this spring. More details at www.srp.net/shadetrees.
Due to changes to the RoundUp, the “Conservation Corner” is now here. Each month you will find water saving tips, environmental facts, and/or community information to help you on your conservation journey.
The 2024 SRP Water Conservation Expo is Sat., March 2 from 8:00 am - Noon at PERA (1 E. Continental Dr., Tempe 85288). This is a great family-friendly event where learning about water conservation products and rebate programs is fun. You can purchase a smart irrigation controller for $60+, shop a desert-adapted plant sale, and pick-up great SWAG. Enjoy free popcorn, coloring activities, and even a bit of snow. I don’t know who likes going more, me or my kids! Hope to see you there - www.SRP.net/expo.
Let’s jump right in with a few tips: Do you know how to save up to 2 ½ gallons of water each minute inside your home? Simply turn off the faucet while brushing your teeth! This also applies when washing your hands. There is no need to keep the water running while humming. Remember to turn off the tap while scrubbing dishes/pots/pans, too. Good news, SRP is partnering with Trees Matter again on the Shade Tree Program. If you haven’t participated, now is your chance to get 2 free desertadapted shade trees. Register today to attend a
A MESSAGE FROM YOUR HOA: Thank you for not feeding the ducks! Bread and other foods can make ducks ill and do not contain the right nutrition or calories they need to keep warm in the winter. Rotting food pollutes their water and causes surface algae, which also kills fish and gives ducks diseases. In addition, it also makes the water smell. Feeding or disturbing wildlife is not permitted in Dobson Ranch. 13 THE DOBSON ASSOCIATION
