Join us for guided nature walks at Hart Prairie Preserve this summer in Northern Arizona. The walks will take place on Sunday mornings from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., beginning at the barn in the northernmost parking lot.

Learn about the natural and human history of the Flagstaff area, including its geology and the formation of the San Francisco Peaks, Aspen ecology, Bebb willows and TNC’s ongoing conservation work at the preserve. Hikers of all levels are welcome, but be prepared for the 2-mile walk on uneven terrain.

The walks are free and open to the public, but space is limited; registration is required. Sign up here or below before attending. Note: This is a guided walk limited to the nature trail, and members of the public will not have access to the historic buildings in the preserve.

Please bring sturdy shoes, a hat, sunscreen, plenty of water and binoculars, if desired. During monsoon season, in late July through August, be prepared for rain and bring the necessary equipment for inclement weather. When navigating, follow the Google Maps directions to "Hart Prairie Preserve" (there is no street address) and look for the front gate with a TNC logo on it.

For more information, email Anthony at anthony.chesney@tnc.org.

Grab some lunch and dine outdoors in the Flagstaff sun while enjoying music from local bands!

May 25 - September 28 • Sundays • 12:00pm-2:00pm in Heritage Square

We invite you to volunteer at Riordan Mansion State Historic Park!

The duplex-style Riordan Mansion remains one of the finest examples of American Arts and Crafts-
style architecture open to the public today. Designed by the architect of the impressive El Tovar Hotel
at the Grand Canyon, Charles Whittlesey, the homes were built in 1904 with indoor plumbing, hot
and cold running water, central heat, and electric lights, reflecting the most modern technology and
design of the time.
Seen by guided tour only, the interiors of the Riordan family homes look essentially as they did in 1904.
The homes showcase original family belongings including fine examples of early Stickley furniture.

Volunteer opportunities available include Front Desk, Interpretive Tours, Grounds and Maintenance services.

Help us preserve history, learn and share the story of Flagstaff.

Contact the Park at 928-779-4395 for more information.

Join us under the stars at Lowell Observatory for two unforgettable productions that showcase the full range of Shakespearean theatre—from heartbreaking tragedy to side-splitting comedy.

KING LEAR
A storm is coming. Power, betrayal, madness, and love collide in Shakespeare’s monumental tragedy. King Lear cuts to the heart of human nature, revealing raw truth through every betrayal and heartbreak. Performed with our signature Original Staging Practices, this is Shakespeare as you’ve never seen it.

THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (abridged) [revised] [again]
Three actors. Thirty-seven plays. Ninety minutes. This fast, funny, and wildly entertaining crash course in the entire Shakespeare canon is perfect for the whole family—even if you’ve never seen a Shakespeare play before. It’s quick, it’s absurd, and it’s a blast.

Performances run July 10 through August 4 under the festival tent at Lowell Observatory.
Tickets are on sale now at www.FlagShakes.org/tickets. Senior, student, and family discounts available.

Bring a blanket, grab a snack, and experience Shakespeare where it was meant to be: live, electric, and right under the stars.

See you at the tent!

There’s no business like show business. For lifelong actors Buddy and Macy Smart (Primetime Emmy-winner Bryan Cranston and Oscar-winner Allison Janney) that means an unpredictable life in regional theater while trying to raise their radically different sons, Lester and Derrick.
