SUMMARY:Nature Walk at San Pedro House
DESCRIPTION:The San Pedro River is one of the last free flowing rivers in the Southwest and home to one of the largest cottonwood-willow riparian forests remaining in Arizona.

The walks are 1.5 to 2 miles long over easy terrain. These are slower paced than a hike and suitable for most adults and children. The San Pedro House is located 7 miles east of Sierra Vista on Highway 90\, on the south side of the highway. It is searchable in Google Maps.

SUMMARY:Fire-Adapted/Dependent Animals and Plants\,
DESCRIPTION:What happens to life when forests go up in smoke? Local resident Glen Minuth will help us look into how certain plants and animals in our western forests handle fire regimes to thrive in the ash-laden leftovers in what was left of the forest. Both plants and animals employ numerous survival strategies. We will gain an understanding of fire adaptations that reflect the traits plants and animals use to help them survive wildfire or to leverage the resources generated by wildfire.

SUMMARY:Bird Walk at San Pedro House
DESCRIPTION:The SPRNCA provides habitat for over 100 species of breeding birds. The San Pedro River is also a critical migration corridor that provides water\, food\, and shelter for another 250 migratory and wintering birds. Novice and experienced bird watchers attend our bird walks to view the diverse avian community of the area. We usually observe 30-60 species on these popular walks\, which last approximately three hours. Bring water\, hat and binoculars. These walks can be moderately difficult on uneven terrain. The San Pedro House is located 7 miles east of Sierra Vista on Highway 90\, on the south side of the highway. It is searchable in Google Maps.
