Celebrate: 2026 Festival of the Sky Islands
Save the dates! Oct. 15-17 is the 5th annual Festival of the Sky Islands in Moctezuma, Sonora. Let’s celebrate in an event filled with education, art, and conservation. This year, we are placing special emphasis on the Sky Islands’ aquatic ecosystems, including springs, rivers, and fascinating creatures like Tarahumara salamanders. This event is made possible through a collective commitment, with the participation of organizations, students, artists, teachers, and schools, sharing their talent and knowledge through workshops, talks, exhibits, artistic performances, and community activities.
Tending Environmental Grief: Part One
We are living in an era of significant environmental change and loss. In recognizing that these times are challenging to live in, adapt to, and cope with, it’s essential that we come together as a community to process our experiences. Supporting ourselves and one another is just as important as stewarding the land and waters. Join Sky Island Alliance and Maria Renée for a dedicated time to understand the terrain of environmental grief, process our emotions, celebrate this beautiful region, and practice building resilience together. This webinar kicks off a series of opportunities to contribute your creative responses to a changing region, whether they come from grief, hope, or anything in between. A follow-up webinar on Dec. 10 at 9:30 a.m. will give participants a chance to share their reflections and experiences.
