Spend the morning outside learning about the different plants of the Sonoran Desert while trying to find some of the critters that pollinate them. Click program title for more details.

 Join Ranger Olivia on this morning hike to learn more about the pollinators that support our desert plants. There are many different types of pollinators in our parks and we will be searching for them while also learning about them! Some pollinators we might see are butterflies, bees, birds, flies, beetles, etc. We will be hiking along the Littleleaf trail to begin which is mostly flat with some uneven areas and one decline, and then will move onto a portion of the Goldmine trail which is all flat to loop back. This hike will be a little over 1 mile, please also be sure to wear closed-toed shoes. Bring any questions you have about the plants and pollinators that reside in the desert. Restrooms and water are available at the Nature Center near the trailhead, but please be sure to bring plenty of water.

PLEASE NOTE: Outdoor summer programs may be canceled on short notice due to severe weather, including extreme heat 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 online before coming to the park.
