Virtual Field Trip Series: Sky Island Region, Arizona

The Sky Island region of southeastern Arizona is one of the most biologically diverse areas in North America, where the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts meet the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Madre. More species of mammals, birds, reptiles, bees and ants are found here in the San Pedro River watershed than any other place in the country! The Nature Conservancy in Arizona has worked to protect and enhance the ecological integrity of this region, including Aravaipa Canyon Preserve and Muleshoe Ranch, for more than 50 years. A big part of keeping it wild includes the use of fire to keep the lands healthy and serve as corridors for bighorn sheep, jaguars and other iconic wildlife.
