September Programs Offered at Saguaro National Park

Saguaro National Park is offering a series of programs that will explore the wonderful natural and cultural history of the park. Join naturalists for an evening walk in the park or join a local expert for a presentation in the visitor center.  Programs will be offered at both districts.  There is no charge for interpretive programs, but park entrance fees apply.

Special Programs offered at the Tucson Mountain District (Saguaro West) include:

September 6, 3:00 p.m. - "Butterflies of Southeastern Arizona"

September is butterfly month in the Sonoran Desert.  Not only are they very common now, but many are southern and Mexican species that you can't see in other parts of the United States.  Join Naturalist Jeff Babson as he presents a program that focuses on some of the more readily seen species for this area - a sort of a "greatest hits" type talk that features many of the larger, more colorful species that even a casual observer could see in the Tucson area.  The presentation will also discuss some of the other smaller, but quite common, species that occur here.  This program is wheelchair accessible. 

Daily Programs

Each of the park's two districts offer additional daily interpretive programs not listed here.  Contact either visitor center for a current schedule, or visit our website at http://www.nps.gov/sagu/planyourvisit/things2do.htm.
