The Desert Foothills Land Trust is proud to present "Desert Discovery
Day," a free family event aimed at fostering environmental awareness and promoting the
conservation of the delicate desert ecosystem. This exciting FREE event will take place on
November 18, 2023, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the scenic Jewel of the Creek Preserve,
nestled in the heart of the Sonoran Desert.

Desert Discovery Day is a unique opportunity for families and nature enthusiasts to explore the
wonders of the desert landscape and engage in an array of interactive educational activities.
Participants will have the chance to discover the unique flora and fauna that thrive in the desert
environment while gaining a deeper understanding of the importance of preserving these natural
habitats.

"We're excited to welcome everyone for a very special day," shared Vicki Preston, President &
CEO of Desert Foothills Land Trust. "Desert Discovery Day reflects our ongoing dedication to
promoting land conservation and connecting people to nature, all while enjoying the company of
families and the enthusiasm of kids exploring the wonders of the desert. Whether seasoned
nature seekers or first-time explorers, this really is an event that everyone can enjoy.”

Attendees will receive a discovery map to guide them on their hike as they learn about local
history, desert plants and native wildlife, meet live animals, and join in other fun outdoor
activities. Interactive exhibits and engaging activities will be available for individuals of all ages,
ensuring a memorable experience for everyone.

Desert Foothills Land Trust invites the entire community to join in this celebration of nature and
conservation. By joining Desert Discovery Day, families will not only forge a stronger connection
