9:30 am - 10:30 am

To better appreciate the natural landscape of Tucson, Arizona, and to demonstrate best practices in outdoor education, we will be hosting an educational ethnobotanical nature hike followed by a plant-pollinator art activity. This activity will highlight the combined knowledges of the San Diego Natural History Museum, the Barona Cultural Center & Museum, and the New Children’s Museum. This activity is for those who teach children and adults about nature or are interested in learning more themselves

Learning Format: 

An important part of finding balance is taking opportunities to, as the saying goes, slow down and smell the roses. Let’s explore the hotel’s nature trails with activities designed to get us up close with the wonders of nature.  Close observation and nature play are fundamental aspects of human development, and using the outdoors as context for learning is a powerful way to engage visitors and staff in the regenerative nature of nature.
