Join us this fall for the Sonoran Speaker Series, starting with "Rattlesnakes: Fact and Fiction," presented by Bryan Hughes, owner and founder of Rattlesnake Solutions. This free, all-ages event offers a unique opportunity to get up close with live rattlesnakes while learning to separate fact from fiction about these widely misunderstood Arizona natives. Whether you're new to the desert, visiting, or have lived here for years, you're sure to have heard myths about rattlesnakes – and Hughes is here to set the record straight with fascinating insights about their behavior, habitat, and ecological importance.
The Sonoran Speaker Series is a joint initiative of Valley of the Sun J and Desert Foothills Land Trust.
