SUMMARY:Madrean Plants – Hike with Mike
DESCRIPTION:Take a beautiful drive up Carr Canyon Road to Carr House and join Mike Foster\, Carr House host\, to learn more about the plants of the Huachuca Mountains.  Mike’s presentation will start with a short video about many of the plant species in the Madrean Evergreen Woodlands surrounding Carr House.  You’ll learn about the “sky islands” of the Huachuca Mountains and how plants here more closely resemble those of the Sierra Madre Mountains to the south rather than those of the Rocky Mountains to the north. \nFollowing the video\, Mike will lead a short walk around Carr House so we’ll have the chance to identify the plants introduced in the video.  There may be opportunities to see other inhabitants of Carr Canyon as well\, such as insects\, lizards\, birds and mammals. Bring your camera!  You’ll want to snap a few photos to help you remember the flora and fauna you’ve seen. \nSpace is limited. Plan to arrive early. \nCarr House is located at 1011 E. Carr Canyon Road\, 2.1 miles from the intersection of Highway 92 at the Mesquite Tree Restaurant.

SUMMARY:The Great 1887 Sonoran Earthquake
DESCRIPTION:We will examine Arizona’s earthquake risk by recognizing the statewide distribution of known faults and view seismic risk maps.  Then\, we will consider the often spoken of (but little known in terms of detail)\, 1887 Sonoran earthquake through a review of historic damage pictures\, as well as the geological features of the Pitaycachi Fault.  You will see how it has been studied more recently to analyze its future activity potential.  Finally\, you will have the opportunity to review the first-person narrative accounts from more than 200 Arizona locations\, nearby states\, and Mexico.

SUMMARY:Volcanoes\, sky islands\, and cordilleras
DESCRIPTION:Sierra Vista is at the center of the Sky Island Archipelago – a collection of mountain ranges that rise high above the deserts and grasslands. They provide critical habitat to an incredible array of flora and fauna that give this region the reputation of one of the most biologically diverse areas in the country. In this presentation we will soar far above the Sky Islands to look at the whole region that stretches into Mexico\, We will look at the canyons of the Huachuca Mountains for evidence of a violent past and will dig deep into the earth to look at the ways these ranges have formed over time.
