May EcoQuest: Search for Stinknet!

Event Description

Join the Metro Phoenix EcoFlora for May’s EcoQuest: Search for Stinknet! Help find and map as much Stinknet as possible.

This month’s EcoQuest is a partnership with the Desert Defenders program. In order to best plan for and manage Stinknet we need to know where it is. As a bonus, see if you can observe insects visiting stinknet! Be careful when observing this plant as it can cause allergic reactions, both respiratory and dermatological.

EcoQuests are month long challenges that are part of the larger Metro Phoenix EcoFlora project. Learn more and follow the Metro Phoenix EcoFlora project.
