    Workshop: Springs Trip Planning and Navigation

    Join SIA staff for an evening at our Tucson office getting ready for upcoming volunteer trips to visit springs within the Sky Islands.

  • Bear Canyon

    Spring Restoration in Bear Canyon

    Rancho Fundoshi Spring Northeast Tucson, Arizona

    Help us restore a wildlife oasis by removing invasive grasses and oleander along the Bear Canyon drainage around Rancho Fundoshi Spring. We'll be working in the soil, bending, kneeling, and using hand tools, picks, and lots of elbow grease.

  • Festival for the Grasslands

    Cananea, Sonora

    Join us in Cananea for a community weekend celebrating the grassland ecosystem of northeastern Sonora. Cananea lies in the heart of the Sky Islands region — a place where rivers are born, and where biodiversity and culture abound. We look forward to a couple days full of community, learning, celebration, culture, hiking, and camping! This gathering is part of the celebration of the United Nations’ International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists, which seeks to recognize the importance of grasslands, biodiversity conservation, and the livelihoods of rural communities.

  • Erosion control

    Erosion Control in the Catalinas

    Join us in the Santa Catalina Mountains for a weekend building erosion-control structures in areas burned by the 2020 Bighorn Fire. Together, we can protect springs from landslides and ensure the mountain absorbs even more rain and snowmelt, recharging the aquifer that plants, wildlife, and people like us depend on. Note: Carpooling from Tucson is available, and day-trippers are most welcome. We'll be camping at Spencer Campground on Mt. Lemmon.

  • Monsoon rainbow

    Monsoon-Themed Open Mic

    Hotel Congress - Century Room 311 E. Congress Street, Tucson, Arizona

    In partnership with the University of Arizona's Poetry Center, join us at Hotel Congress' Century Room to celebrate and call in the 2026 monsoon season! Participants can share their own work or a rain-themed poem that they love. Spots in the lineup will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Up to 30 people can read, with one poem per person. Learn more and sign up for a spot.

  • Cottontail jumping

    Leaping Lagomorphs: A Deep Dive on Rabbits and Hares of the Sky Islands

    Virtual

    Join us for this virtual Coffee Break with SIA Wildlife Specialist Meagan Bethel, who will take us on a deep dive into the different cottontail and jackrabbit species that make their home in the Sky Islands and bring so much joy with their every hop and step. Together, we’ll learn how to identify each species in the field and on camera. Meagan will also share their life history and distribution across the region using data from our FotoFauna and Border Wildlife Study cameras.
