For much of the country, winter means snow and ice. For inhabitants of the Sonoran Desert, though, it can be a time to reflect on the uniqueness of our home; the chill temperatures and frosty mornings help us see the desert in a new light.
Conservation Lands & Resources' Winter Speaker Series explores the many aspects of life in the Sonoran Desert. If you’re looking for new insights into desert life, there’s no better place to begin than Pima County Conservation Lands & Resources’ Winter Speaker Series, which runs through March. The theme of this year’s series is “Desert Dwellers: Building Ecological Literacy Through Storytelling.”
The speakers’ topics range from the culinary heritage of Sonora to the implications of climate change for the County.
“This wonderful series helps us understand and connect with the Sonoran Desert through a wide prism of perspectives, exploring our lived experiences, histories, artistry and environmental science against the backdrop of two very special, deeply valued natural and cultural spaces,” said Casey Limón-Condit, community engagement coordinator and volunteer coordinator at Conservation Lands & Resources.
“This series highlights both the beauty of Pima County and the tremendous community that makes it so magnetic.”
The events are free, though donations are appreciated. Registration online is strongly suggested, but walk-ins are welcome when space permits.
