POLLINATOR HOT SPOTS
Celebrate Earth Day      
The synergistic relationship between pollination, plants and animals is vital to maintaining food sources. The Desert Museum invites residents to become Citizen Scientists in an important conservation program, Pollinator Hotspots. This program will determine what factors, in addition to water, attract pollinators so that those "hotspots" can be protected.

BIGHORN LAMB
The Newest Arrival
Desert Museum guests got fooled on April 1st when a Bighorn ewe surprised them by delivering a lamb. The Museum's newest resident is delighting guests with her romps around the habitat. She'll quickly grow out of this stage, so come soon to enjoy the antics! The lamb's arrival also marks another successful birth for the Sustainable Species Program, in which the Desert Museum participates.
