SUMMARY:Stand Up Paddleboard Class
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to SUP? \nThis is a hands-on Stand-Up-Paddleboard class in Phoenix. There will be a “classroom” session followed by putting theory into practice–actually using a SUP on the water. This course is designed to equip paddlers with basic skills to get from point A to point B successfully\, to understand the legal responsibilities that come with getting on the water\, and to know what to do in emergency situations. AZGFD provides all of the paddle equipment including life jackets. Shade and seating will be provided but feel free to bring your own comfy camp chair for the “classroom” portion. Bring a lunch or snack to eat after the classroom portion and before we get on the water. Wear shoes that can get wet. Don’t forget a towel and a change of clothes as you will get wet 🙂 Students must be 10 years of age or older in order to attend. If you are registering a minor under the age of 18\, a parent or guardian over the age of 18 must accompany them to the class.

SUMMARY:Name That Species
DESCRIPTION:Explore the beauty of Rogers Lake County Natural Area\, just outside Flagstaff\, with the Arizona Wildlife Federation! This special place features a variety of habitats: wetlands\, grasslands\, Ponderosa pine\, and Gambel oak. This mosaic supports a rich diversity of wildlife and native plants. \nWhile Rogers Lake\, which is an ephemeral lake\, often dries in late summer\, after a good monsoon or wet season\, the lakebed transforms into the perfect place for migratory waterfowl and other wildlife to gather. During the drier periods\, the area provides prime grazing grounds for large herds of elk that descend from Woody Ridge at dawn and dusk. With a bit of luck\, we might catch a glimpse of these majestic animals and other wildlife that frequent the area! \nDuring the hike\, we will utilize the mobile apps iNaturalist\, Seek by iNaturalist\, and Merlin to identify all sorts of flora and fauna in the area! We highly recommend you download these apps prior to attending.

The walks are 1.5 to 2 miles long over easy to moderate terrain. These are slower paced than a hike\, taking an average of 2 hours\, and are suitable for most adults and children.
