500 Observations - as Kartchner Caverns celebrates an anniversary!
Wow - our biodiversity collection project has almost reached 500 observations! This is a big milestone and due to the hard work of 67 observers, plus many more identifiers. Thank you all for you focus, dedication, and enthusiasm for nature. As temperatures start to fall and daylight hours cease, keep an eye out for late bloomers and migratory species passing through the area. Autumn can be an exciting time in the desert.
Kartchner Caverns State Park will soon be celebrating an important milestone of its own - 20 years since the opening of the Rotunda-Throne tour route! We invite you to join the celebration on Saturday, November 16th; featured guests include the Huachuca Astronomy Club and the Herpetological Society. At 1 p.m., there will be a guided hike along the Ocotillo Trail to learn more about our community biodiversity project and welcome newcomers to the iNaturalist community.

Keep observing, naturalists!
