Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Connecting with Nature Class

Did you make it your New Year’s Resolution to spend more time in nature? Join Ranger Kevin for an introduction to the skills needed to enhance your connection with the natural world.

Make it your New Year’s resolution to get connected with nature! Join Ranger Kevin as we learn how to make – or strengthen – our connection with nature through the practice of Silent Walking and Sit Spots. This is a beginner’s level class, so anyone who is interested in learning how to observe and appreciate the natural world in greater depth is welcome. We will learn to relax, change our mindset, and use our senses to see the Sonoran Desert like never before. This program includes walks on the North trail, which is rated easy with very little loose rock, uneven terrain and elevation change. Please wear closed-toed shoes and bring water. Hats and sunscreen are recommended. Restrooms and water are available at the Nature Center. Please, NO pets.
