The Coati Club's 2016 Earth Day Poetry Contest is back! Students throughout Southern Arizona (grades K-6) submitted poems about the Sonoran Desert. Join us this Sunday, May 22, starting at 2 p.m. in the Warden Oasis Theater as we announce the 2016 winners! Last year's entries truly captured the spirit and beauty of our natural world. Previous winners are available to read online. Take a Peek!

One of the most rewarding experiences is knowing what we do changes lives. A former Earth Camper explains how the Desert Museum made an impact. "It seemed like a science-y, nerdy club, but it actually ended up changing my entire life completely," said Lange Navarro. She is now Cornell University bound and plans to major in sustainability and environmental science. Discover Her Journey!

Volunteering touches the heart of our mission. We would like to congratulate our volunteers of the month, Janet Reue and Mike Sechrest! Janet is a Docent and Mike is a School Group Greeter. It is because of loyal volunteers, like Janet and Mike, that we can continue protecting the Sonoran Desert. We could not do what we do without them. Thank you for being such a great addition. Volunteer Now!
