Join Reid Park Zoo to celebrate World Desert Day!
World Desert Day is a global celebration dedicated to raising awareness, inspiring action, and cultivating appreciation for the world’s desert ecosystems and the communities, plants, and wildlife that call them home.
What actually is a desert? Is it hot? Is it dry? Is it barren?
Learn what makes a desert a desert with activities, animal encounters, partner organizations like Tucson Clean and Beautiful and Xerces Society, and a Zoo-wide BioBlitz.
What is a BioBlitz?
A BioBlitz is an event at which a group of volunteers get together to find and identify as many different native plants and animals as possible in a given area.
Activities will take place at the Zoo’s pollinator garden 10 am – 12 pm.
All ages and experience levels are welcome. Identification skills are not necessary.
This event is free with paid Zoo admission. Advance registration is not required.
