Last updated 8/28/23
Special Note: We have changed our program schedule in the hopes that we can reach more people with our meetings. Meetings will still be on the 4th Tuesday of each month but there will be a mix of in-person meetings at various locations and Zoom meetings. Please pay attention to the location of each meeting when considering attending. All meetings start at 7pm and are open to the public with Zoom meetings requiring pre-registration.
The first two meetings (Sept, Oct) will be held at the UA Field Station in the Bath Nature Preserve. This page will be updated as new information about the meetings becomes available.
The November, January, and February meetings will be Zoom meetings.
March and April meetings will be at the Goodyear Heights Lodge. The May meeting (held in conjunction with the Summit Metro Parks) will be in the Himelright Lodge in the Valley View area of the Cascade Valley Metro Park. The June meeting will be at the UA Field Station in the Bath Nature Preserve.
