Connections: People and Environment, Discovering Arizona's Transitional Zones
The Arizona Association for Environmental Education invites you to spend the weekend in Verde Valley’s mild climate among the juniper-mesquite woodland below the Mogollon Rim. Opportunities for interacting with professional scientists and other experts on a wide variety of fascinating, cross-curricular subjects will be offered. You’ll also get to network with other AAEE members and their guests.
Numerous workshops, field trips and discussions about a broad array of subjects including archeology, water resources, geology, ethnobotany, bird watching, and more will be held on Saturday, May 6th. Each tour or workshop will include hands-on activities and will incorporate AZ academic standards. Details of these activities are coming soon. The day will include lunch and a "Schmooze or Lose" dinner. For those who wish to camp, a limited number of campsites have been reserved at Dead Horse State Park on Friday and Saturday nights.
Place: Montezuma's Well - Montezuma Castle National Monument
Date: Saturday May 6th, 2006 - 8 am to 7 pm
Friday May 5th: Optional Campout at Dead Horse State Park. Camping will be available free of charge to registered attendees. Join us for an informal campfire and fun.
