Become a Naturalist

We train a new class of naturalists each year, beginning in early October. Our 15-week program is taught by local experts on topics like herpetology, birds, desert and riparian ecology, ancient peoples, and much more.

Are you passionate about environmental education? Would you like to know more about the unique desert ecology that makes Sabino Canyon such a special place? Are you interested in desert plants and wildlife, native and natural history, aquatic life and geology?
