Conference Outing and Banquet Dinner

Barn Owl at the Desert Museum

The conference outing and banquet dinner will be held at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. The Desert Museum of one of Tucson’s premier attractions, a fusion experience of zoo, botanical garden, art gallery, natural history museum, and aquarium. It features wildlife and flora native to the Sonoran Desert Region over 2 miles of walking paths through various desert habitats.

Logistics: participants will be bused from ENR2 to the Desert Museum (~ 30 minutes west of Tucson in the Saguaro National Park) on Wednesday, March 6, in the early afternoon. Participants will then have a few hours to independently explore the museum before gathering for a live animal experience, followed by dinner in the Green Room. Buses will then return to ENR2. A precise schedule will be distributed with the conference welcome packet.

Please note that the museum itself it largely outdoors, so wear appropriate clothing and shoes. The average forecast in March is mid-70s F (~24 C), however, it may be hotter and will likely be dry and sunny. Remember to drink water and wear sunscreen!
