Ales with the Arb

Every third Wednesday · 6 PM · Mother Road Brewery

Science goes down easier with a cold pint in hand.

Join The Arboretum at Flagstaff at Mother Road Brewery for our monthly evening series where local experts, scientists, and naturalists pull up a barstool and share what they know. Each month brings a new theme — from pollinators to paleobotany, water science to wildlife — all in the laid-back setting of one of Flagstaff's favorite neighborhood breweries.

No lecture hall. Just good conversation, great beer, and the kind of curiosity that keeps a community connected to the natural world around it.

Free to attend. Just bring yourself — and maybe a friend who thinks they don't like science yet.

Wildflower Morning Walk
September 11 · 9:30 – 10:30 AM · Meet at the Visitor Center

The Colorado Plateau is home to some of the most resilient, remarkable plants on earth — and at 7,000 feet, September brings a last, glorious flourish of color before the season turns.

Join an Arboretum staff naturalist for a one-hour morning walk through the gardens, exploring the native wildflowers that have adapted to thrive in this rugged, high-desert landscape. Learn the stories behind the plants that call the Colorado Plateau home — where they grow, how they survive, and why they matter.

Unhurried, unscripted, and endlessly worth seeing.

Please bring water, a camera, and comfortable walking shoes.

Members $10 | Non-Members $20 | Limited to 15 participants – please signup early! Includes admission to the Arb.
