SUMMARY:Tucson Chapter Field Trip: Madera Canyon Nature Walk
DESCRIPTION:Madera Canyon Proctor Loop Nature Walk \nSaturday\, August 30\, 8am to noon \nMeet at Proctor Parking Area\, Madera Canyon \nLimit: 12 participants . RSVP to tucsonaznpstrips@gmail.com \nFive plant communities come together on Madera Canyon’s Proctor Loop Trail. Join naturalist Doug Moore for an ANPS monsoon nature walk in the canyon. We’ll take a stroll around “the Loop” looking for monsoon plants/flowers\, and also insects\, birds/nests and other nature. \nPark & meet at the Proctor Parking Area. We will walk the .75 mile Proctor Loop. The monsoon season has brought precipitation to the canyon; both summer plants and animals are active. This is an easy to moderate walk on mostly paved trail with some uneven sections and mild altitude loss/gain. (We may take the primitive trail up to the upper bridge below the White House Loop\, if not too overgrown!) \nBring a bag lunch; the group can picnic at Proctor (or higher in canyon if too warm) after the walk.To participate\, you MUST be able to walk/stand for several hours. There are benches along the trail at intervals. \nPlease wear comfortable walking/hiking shoes. Bring water\, binocs\, hand lens\, sun hat\, & insect repellent; optional: camera\, walking stick \nDon’t wait to sign up as space is limited; walks often fill up fast! \nCautions: \n1) Chiggers occur in the grassy habitat around/above Proctor. Bring insect repellent or powdered sulfur\, consider wearing long pants and stay on the main trail as much as possible. \n2) Monsoon weather can change quickly; safety is our utmost priority! If thunderstorms develop or lightening becomes possible\, we will stop the walk and return to the parking area as quickly as possible. \n3) There can be lots of wildlife on the road to the canyon in the morning. Please drive carefully and watch for wildlife! Enjoy these special animals and take care not to run them over!
