Even though most of them only briefly harbor water, our regions’ seemingly countless arroyos hold great value to local wildlife.

The heat of May is primetime for our region’s reptiles, which includes 32 species of lizards, 43 species of snakes and five species of turtles.

The soaking autumn and winter rains and our unnervingly warm winter have brought forth a profusion of life across the Sky Islands.

Resilient habitats on private property of all sizes are vital links in the chain of local wild lands – key pillars of our region’s biodiversity.

Whether you own ten square feet of barren turf or hundreds of wild acres, you have a genuine opportunity to bolster the biodiversity of the Sky Islands.
