Have recent storms toppled the trees and bushes in your yard? Reid Park Zoo might be able to turn them into food for the animals.
TUCSON, Ariz. — As we tend to see damage from monsoon storms this time of year, a program at the Reid Park Zoo is turning the aftermath into something positive.
"Their favorite is Chilean mesquite," said Eisenbarth."So there are a couple of different kinds of mesquite in Tucson and native mesquite is something that we can't accept, or anything with thorns. Chilean is the really soft, dark green looking type that doesn't have thorns and that's something that they love. Mulberry, pistache, ash, California pepper is a popular one, and that one smells really good. African sumac is a big one in Tucson.
If the zoo confirms it's a match, as long as you're within a half an hour drive, they'll pick it up right from your yard.
