- Join us on Zoom to hear from Sky Island Alliance’s Habitat Conservation Manager Sarah Truebe about the Spring Seeker program. Spring Seeker is a community science program
where volunteers can search for springs across southern Arizona and northern Mexico, documenting conditions using a simple smartphone app. In the first two years of Spring Seeker,
we've recorded data on more than 700 springs, which allows us to nominate many of these sensitive water sources for protection in Arizona. Our data in Sonora are helping us to
collaborate with ranchers on conserving and restoring springs as well. We invite you to attend the talk to learn more about the program and sign up to visit springs across the
Sky Islands while you’re out hiking! To prepare for the talk, please install "3ArcGIS Survey123" from the app store on your smartphone and then visit this link to install the

Join Sky Island Alliance in the field to explore Clark Spring in southern Arizona's Huachuca Mountains. This is an approximately 2-mile round-trip hike at 6,000 feet elevation. We'll depart from the Clark Spring Trailhead and head up Carr Canyon Road to a natural spring that hasn't been surveyed before by Spring Seekers. As a group, we’ll decide how to answer the survey questions,
and everyone will get a chance to submit their own surveys and pictures! Rendezvous at 8am at the Pizzeria Mimosa in Hereford, Arizona to carpool to
Clark Spring Trailhead in Carr Canyon (not Miller Canyon). Attendance by RSVP only — limited to 20 participants. Please carpool. Note: because we envision
this as an event for people new to Spring Seeking, there's a required training session on Friday, July 29 at 3 p.m.
