Fire Ecology:

Are forest fires always a bad thing?

We'll look at the role of fire in our northern Arizona ponderosa pine ecosystem and how land managers use fire to maintain and create wildlife habitat.

The University of Arizona's Santa Rita Experimental Range is an outdoor laboratory for ecological and land management discoveries.  The facility has lodging to support research and educational uses.

The 110 acre Riparian Preserve offers students access to a wide variety of environmental studies. Our unique setting provides opportunities to participate in fun and educational experiences not possible in the classroom.

All activities at the Preserve are correlated to the current Arizona State Standards and are cross-curricular in their approach.
