Story 2: On the Banks of the River by Jacinda Felix is about her family’s multi-generational connection to the Santa Cruz River. Jacinda is also a senior at City High.
Paloma and Jacinda share their own personal insights and conduct thoughtful interviews with water professionals and family members to depict Tucson’s environmental challenges, unique heritage, and hope for the future.
