Ironwood Forest—A National Treasure in Our Back Yard

On Sunday March 7, 2910, at noon, Lahsha Brown, Executive Director of Friends of Ironwood Forest, will speak at Mountain Vista UU—the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Northwest Tucson. She will describe the Ironwood Forest National Forest as well as the ironwood tree, one of the most ecologically important plant species in our region. Ironwood Forest National Monument possesses one of the richest stands of ironwood trees in the Sonoran Desert and contains a significant system of cultural and historical sites covering a 5,000 year period. Learn more about the area's fascinating history and future.

We have had this national treasure in our back yard since President Clinton established the Ironwood Forest as a National Monument 10 years ago. = He entrusted the Bureau of Land Management to look after the Monument. Soon after that, a group of volunteers called Friends of Ironwood Forest formed to protect the fragile resources of the Monument, as well as provide public education and service projects in partnership with the BLM. This 30-minute presentation will be followed by time for questions and discussion. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact contact Hobie Denny at hobied@gmail.com or 253-857-5171
