🎨 Theme: Roots to Wings: Plant & Bird Eco Walk
Address: 2439 S Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85004

Join us for a guided experience through our local ecosystem with Wildlife Research Specialist Shane Henderson from the Central Arizona–Phoenix Long-Term Ecological Research (CAPLTER). 

RSVP Here

This immersive walk weaves together ecological insight, practical birding techniques, and a deeper understanding of how desert landscapes sustain life from roots to wings. You’ll learn how to:

• Identify key native plants that support bird populations
• Recognize bird calls, behaviors, and habitat patterns
• Observe like a field researcher — slowing down, noticing patterns, asking questions
• Understand how urban and desert ecosystems intersect

Whether you're a seasoned birder or simply curious about the life around you, this walk invites you to see our local landscape with new eyes — tracing the thread from soil, to stem, to sky.

Come ready to wander, wonder, and connect.
