While the vast majority of the work undertaken and completed by the members and volunteers of DPI involves purely physical labor, what we do, and how efficiently and effectively we can accomplish our goals means we also rely on a variety of mechanical tools as well as the herbicide needed to treat cut tamarisk stumps to prevent regrowth.

 

In addition, our communication and outreach efforts require covering some basic expenses for printing, maintaining our website, and managing our digital assets.

 

Please consider donating your money, or your time as a volunteer, to support us in these efforts. We love hearing from you and look forward to working together!
