Event Description
Join the June EcoQuest: Wild for Willow! Help us find and map as much Desert Willow (Chilopsis linearis) as we can.
Have you noticed a tree with big, beautiful violet or light pink blooms lately? It’s likely Desert Willow. This Arizona native plant thrives in our desert heat and continues to display its showy flowers even in the hottest days of summer. It’s also a great resource for wildlife, providing food, cover, and habitat, especially birds and pollinators.
EcoQuests are month long challenges that are part of the larger Metro Phoenix EcoFlora project. Learn more and follow the Metro Phoenix EcoFlora project.

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.
