Pima Master Naturalists

Join us for a multi-day event on the beautiful University of Arizona campus, featuring exciting social Get-togethers, breakout sessions, keynote speakers, and field trips, with a focus on the Sonoran Desert’s amazing community and diversity.

Look forward to connecting with Master Naturalists from around the state, nature art created by fellow naturalists, and exciting speakers who will inspire and enrich your understanding of this region, including a focus on wildlife corridors, bat tracking, and the latest on jaguars.

Whether you’re a seasoned naturalist or just starting your journey, we would love for you to join us to connect not just with nature but with one another. Hope to see you there!

A volunteer leadership training program designed to enhance the quality of educational, citizen science, and stewardship service participants provide to community partners. We are a chapter of the Arizona Master Naturalist Association.

Our chapter is located on Tohono O’odham, Pascua Yaqui, and Hohokam Lands. We honor them and their connection to this region. We give thanks for the opportunity to live, work, learn and gather on their traditional homeland.
