However\, long-term monitoring is essential to strengthen these data and better understand changes in plant health and survival over time. To address this need\, the Saguaro Monitoring Program was developed as a student- and volunteer-led initiative in which community members are assigned a plot of approximately 20 saguaros that they visit regularly to document plant health and condition. As the project completes its first year of surveys\, results from the initial monitoring effort will be presented\, along with a discussion of the benefits and challenges of using community science to monitor urban plant populations. \nAn entry ticket to the Garden is required for in-person attendance\, see the registration section for more information. \nVirtual attendance is via zoom: https://dbg-org.zoom.us/j/85781899256?pwd=gSC71Ude0s1MYhzVXY5AKkBVhAic48.1 \nThe meeting should automatically login\, but if it doesn’t here is the meeting info: \nMeeting ID: 857 8189 9256\, Passcode: 684957 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n DATE:\n\n\n\n\nMay 5\, 2026\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Time:\n\n\n\n\n12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Location:\n\n\n\nDesert Botanical Garden - Dorrance Hall\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Do I need to Register?\nRegistration is not required\, but one must purchase a ticket to Desert Botanical Garden. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n DBG Plan Your Visit Page\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Event Partners\nCAZCA functions through extensive partnerships to stand together and further our conservation efforts. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Other Events\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Summer Education Series \n \n Webinar \n \n \n \n \n AZ Water Policy Webinar\n \n Jun 10\, 2026 \n \n \n Join us for an insightful webinar on AZ water policy with Sarah Porter.
