"Deep Dives" Summer Speakers Series

Have you ever wanted to know more about the stars, the uses of native plants, the way nature affects our brains, and more? We have a talk for you every Saturday in June and July!

Delve into this series of talks that will help you observe the world in ways you may have never considered before. Each weekend, we'll go deep into a topic that relates to the great outdoors with speakers that are passionate about their subjects. 

Enjoy an evening out under the desert sky, learning something new- with a view!
