Archaeology Presentation
Coming up on Sunday, August 27, at 1:30 p.m., please join us at Carr House, 1011 E. Carr Canyon Road, for An Overview of the Archaeology of the Huachuca Mountains. Our little corner of Southeastern Arizona is a treasure trove of archaeological sites, many of them dating back thousands of years. Some have been excavated and then protected, such as the Native American site in Garden Canyon on Fort Huachuca, while others remain to be discovered. Susan Bier, U. S. Forest Service Archaeologist, will provide a summary of the timeline and site types of pre-contact and historic-era sites in the Huachuca Mountains. For safety reasons occupancy in the program room at Carr House is limited to 49 people. Please arrive early to be sure you get a seat, as additional visitors over the limit will not be admitted while the program is going on. Overflow guests will be invited to watch a live stream of the program at our outside picnic area. - Carolyn Santucci

Hike with Mike
Carr House Visitor Information Center, 1011 E. Carr Canyon Road, Saturday, September 9, 9 a.m. Join Mike Foster, our Carr House host, to learn more about the plants of the Huachuca Mountains. Mike’s presentation will start with a short video about many of the plant species in the Madrean Evergreen Woodlands surrounding Carr House. You’ll learn about the “sky islands” of the Huachuca Mountains and how plants here more closely resemble those of the Sierra Madre Mountains to the south rather than those of the Rocky Mountains to the north. Following the video, Mike will lead a hike around Carr House, so we’ll have the chance to identify the plants introduced in the video. There may be opportunities to see other inhabitants of Carr Canyon as well, such as insects, lizards, birds, and mammals. Bring your camera! You’ll want to snap a few photos to help you remember the flora and fauna you’ve seen. For safety reasons occupancy in the program room at Carr House is limited to 49 people. Please arrive early to be sure you get a seat, as additional visitors over the limit will not be admitted while the program is going on. Overflow guests will be invited to watch a live stream of the program at our outside picnic area.
