Join us for an early morning hike in support of the Sonoran Desert’s native plants and Maricopa County’s natural resource program. Click on program title for more details.
Join Maricopa County Natural Resource Manager Juanita Armstrong-Ullberg for an approximately 4-5-mile hike on the Go John trail, as well as around the Nature Center and the Native Seed Garden. We will be talking about the importance of native plants in restoring desert habitat that has been degraded due to things like wildfire, human use and overgrazing. We may even get the opportunity to observe as “seed bombs” are deployed in several areas along the route to facilitate the health and biodiversity of Cave Creek Regional Park. Trail is rated moderate-difficult, so expect areas of loose rock, uneven terrain and elevation change. Please wear sturdy closed-toe shoes and bring plenty of water. Hats and sunscreen are highly recommended. No pets, please.
MEETING LOCATION: Front porch of Nature Center.
