Join park volunteer Rich Fuhrmann Jr. on a beginner's bird walk through White Tank Mountain Regional Park. After the walk, gather in the Nature Center classroom for an engaging presentation on the park’s feathered residents, from desert dwellers to seasonal visitors.
Rich brings 20 years in education, currently serving as a middle school Dean of Students. He is a recent graduate of the Arizona Master Naturalists Program, cohort 8, and holds a current Wilderness First Aid certification. A core volunteer with Maricopa County Parks & Recreation and Trail Ambassador at White Tank Mountain Regional Park, he has led interpretive bird walks and specializes in desert ecology and group safety.
Please wear protective clothing and closed-toe shoes, and bring plenty of water to stay hydrated. Restrooms and water are available at the Nature Center, though may not be accessible at the trailhead. Pets are not permitted—service animals are welcome.
This program will serve beginning birders or those just curious about the Sonoran Desert and will provide an enriching experience for guests of all ages.
PLEASE NOTE: Programs may be canceled on short notice due to severe weather events. The Maricopa County Parks website (www.maricopa.gov/parks) is the most accurate resource for verifying the program's current status. Please check the program listing before coming to the park.
