With more than 400 bird species recorded in Yavapai County, Arizona’s Central Highlands is a vibrant crossroads of habitats and migration pathways. This engaging workshop introduces participants to the region as a unique ecoregion shaped by topography, climate, and diverse plant communities—and explores how these elements support an incredible variety of bird life.

The program begins indoors with an introduction to local bird species, birding techniques, and essential tools of the trade. Participants will then head outside to practice observation skills on the museum grounds, applying what they’ve learned in a real-world setting. Whether you’re new to birding or looking to deepen your connection to the natural world, this experience offers a meaningful way to engage with the environment just beyond your doorstep.

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.

Edie Dillon’s recent mixed media sculpture offers thought provoking visual interpretations of the ideas that lead us away from the limiting frame of human exceptionalism: interdependence, reciprocity, and connection between humans and the more than human world.

The growing Rights of Nature movement – which advances nature itself as a body deserving legal rights – has the potential to significantly increase our chances of sustaining all life on the planet. The movement puts into practice our increasingly inclusive and multidimensional understandings of the more than human world – understandings that encompass both deep spiritual traditions and sophisticated scientific discoveries.

NHI Gallery is open Tuesday-Friday from 12-4:00 pm.
