Besides ferrets\, other animals that could be observed during\nspotlighting include foxes\, badgers\, coyotes\, owls\, hawks\, porcupines\, skunks\, and pronghorn.\nPlease RSVP by Sept. 14th for the September event and Oct. 12th for the October event…\nPlease indicate what month(s) and night(s) you would like to spotlight\, indicate who else (First and Last name) will be\nattending with you\, Please\, indicate if you will be able to use your own vehicle\, and the vehicle capacity (4×4 vehiclle preferred but not required).

SUMMARY:SIA: Water Roots: Exclusive screening of Andy Goldsworthy's Rivers & Tides
DESCRIPTION:SIA Water Roots: Exclusive screening of Andy Goldsworthy’s Rivers & Tides\nJuly 31\, 2018 @ 7:30pm – 9:30pm \n  \nJoin us for a special screening and panel discussion\, hosted by the Loft Cinema in partnership with Sky Island Alliance and University of Arizona Water Resources Research Center. \nAndy Goldsworthy’s Rivers and Tides is a truly beautiful\, Scottish-German 2001 documentary about artist Goldsworthy\, a Scotsman whose medium is nature itself and whose preferred studio is the outdoors\, particularly where water forever flows\, rises\, and/or retreats. — Tom Keogh \n \nClick on the image to watch the film trailer on YouTube \n\nThe critically acclaimed documentary Andy Goldsworthy’s Rivers and Tides (2001) is a vision of the natural world molded by currents\, driftwood\, ice\, mud\, leaves\, and stones\, and modified with human hands. A spectacular visual gallery of Goldsworthy’s relationship with nature\, this artist painstakingly makes ephemeral sculptures built out of bits of ice in the trees or loose rock\, which may be overgrown by plants or swallowed by high tides. His work melts\, disintegrates\, drifts away due to exposure of the elements of which they are comprised. Goldsworthy’s creations are intentionally mutable works\, their temporary nature a part of the work. Filmmaker Thomas Reidelsheimer goes to great lengths to demonstrate Goldsworthy’s ideas about the forgotten relationships between light\, color\, movement\, balance\, and fluidity of form in nature\, creating a surprising and enjoyable journey through art of the natural world. \nIt has been a kind of privilege to see the world through this man’s eyes. — Los Angeles Times \nRegular Loft Cinema ticket prices will be charged for this event. \nA full list of panelists will be announced soon! \nThis event and panel discussion is part of a larger series organized by the Sky Island Alliance and UA Water Resources Research Center. The Water Roots series is a celebration and study of water in the desert highlighting the unique ways that we value our most precious resource. Our region can build a water future that considers water for humans and nature – please join us for upcoming events and show your support. Learn more about the Water Roots series and share your water story here.

SUMMARY:Sky Island Alliance Wildlife Tracking Workshop - Aravaipa Canyon
DESCRIPTION:Wildlife Tracking Workshop – Fall 2017 – Aravaipa\nThursday\, October 19\, 2017 – Sunday\, October 22\,2017\nBryon Lichtenhan\, Field Coordinator: 520-624-7080 ext. 27 OR bryon@skyislandalliance.org \n  \nSAVE $100 IF YOU ARE A FULL-TIME STUDENT OR MEXICAN NATIONAL\nReduced Price = $195\n  \nJoin us for a four-day get-away in a spectacular Sky Island setting with Sky Island Alliance staff and regional guest experts.  Participants gain hands-on field instruction and theory in a variety of skills and techniques\, including: \n\nNatural history and conservation of regional animal species\, with emphasis on the jaguar\, Mexican gray wolf\, ocelot\, black bear\, mountain lion\, bobcat\, white-nose coati\, Mexican opossum\, badger\, desert tortoise\, and box turtle;\nWildlife track morphology\, structure and terminology;\nPhoto documentation;\nMotion-activated wildlife camera monitoring techniques;\nTrack casting and tracing techniques;\nAnimal gaits and movement; and\,\nHands-on experience with track identification in the field.  \n\n\nLOCATION:\nThis workshop will be held at The Nature Conservancy’s Guesthouse in Aravaipa Canyon Preserve\, 50 miles northeast of Tucson\, Arizona (approximately 3 to 3.5 hours drive from Tucson or Phoenix). During the workshop\, we will take the opportunity to gather wildlife tracking data for Aravaipa Canyon Preserve. “Not only does the ranch sit over the main aquifer that supplies Aravaipa Creek\, it’s also an important corridor for wildlife traveling from the Galiuro Mountains to the Santa Teresa Mountains\,” says the Preserve’s manager\, Mark Haberstich. “We’ve actually seen elk on the preserve” — a rarity at the site’s elevation of 3\,300 feet. \n\nTRIP SCHEDULE: \n\n12 Noon Thursday: Participants have the option of meeting us at the Sky Island Alliance offices (406 S 4th Ave) at 12 pm on Thursday to catch a ride or carpool/caravan to the Aravaipa guesthouse.\n4 PM Thursday: Participants that wish to provide their own transportation to the guesthouse (high clearance vehicles recommended) should arrive around 4 pm.\n3 PM Sunday: Our workshop will be wrapped up\, and participants will be on their way home.\n6 PM Sunday: Participants riding back to Tucson with SIA will be returned to our offices by 6 pm on Sunday\, perhaps earlier.\n\n\nWHAT TO EXPECT:\nWe will have a limited number of beds available\, with plenty of spots for tent camping available as well. The guesthouse is equipped with a full kitchen\, but fridge space can become limited so bring a cooler\, just in case. There are also indoor bathrooms/showers available\, but be conscious of everyone’s needs and don’t plan on lengthy showers. \nCampsites are grassy areas located at the guesthouse and are vehicle accessible. High clearance vehicles are recommended.  Aravaipa Creek is only a short walk away from the camping area.  Potable water is available; water from area creeks should be treated prior to consumption. \nSIA will not be providing any meals during this trip; you will need to bring enough food and water for breakfast\, packable lunches\, dinners\, and any snacks you desire. This means that you will want to be prepared with nine meals: from Thursday dinner to Sunday lunch. \nThe majority of the weekend will be spent outdoors and you can expect to spend time sitting\, and walking or strolling along wet creeks and dry riverbeds as we look for tracks and other wildlife sign.  We provide some blocks of free time\, but the schedule calls for long days\, starting around 8am and ending around 7 or 8 at night. \nAll course materials are included.  You will receive Mark Elbroch’s field guide Mammal Tracks and Sign:  A Guide to North American Species\, a tracking ruler\, laminated wildlife track identification field cards\, and a workshop packet.  We provide a one-year membership to Sky Island Alliance for non-member participants\, including a subscription to our Restoring Connections newsletter.\n \nPLEASE NOTE: \nNo dogs or pets are allowed on this trip.  Participants are required to sign our volunteer release form.  Youth ages 13-17 are welcome if joined by an accompanying adult. Workshop registration will close one week before the first date of the workshop\, or when full.  Please register online and during checkout specify payment by credit card or check. \nSky Island Alliance offers Wildlife Tracking Workshops twice a year\, in both spring and fall.  Our workshops alternate between overnight camping and bed and breakfast style accommodations in different outdoor settings around the Sky Island region; cost can vary slightly based on amenities offered\, but every workshop is taught at the same high quality standard. \n***Cancelation policy:  Due to the limited space availability for this particular workshop\, we cannot provide refunds for cancelation.  However\, we can accept substitutions.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. \n\n\nFor more information\, please contact Bryon Lichtenhan at bryon@skyislandalliance.org.

SUMMARY:Native Student Professional Development Program
DESCRIPTION:  \nNative Student Professional Development Program\nfor indigenous students interested in the Wildlife Profession\n  \nAs a scientific organization for professionals who manage and conserve wildlife and habitats\, The Wildlife Society (TWS) is increasingly concerned about the lack of ethnic and cultural diversity within the profession. Diversity is essential if the profession is to grow and meet the nation’s conservation challenges. The indigenous community has enormous potential to enrich diversity within the wildlife profession. The Wildlife Society believes that one of the most effective ways to support indigenous wildlife students is to give them the opportunity to attend TWS’s Annual Conference – the largest gathering of wildlife professionals in North America. The Society is therefore raising funds to enable indigenous students to attend the 24th Annual Conference\, to be held in Albuquerque\, NM Sept. 23-27\, 2017 though the Native Students Professional Development Program. \n\nIndividuals selected for this program will receive funds to help cover registration fees\, lodging\, meals and transportation to and from the conference. Participants will also receive a one-year membership in The Wildlife Society and become members of the Native People’s Wildlife Management Working Group. \n\nEligible students must be members of a Native American\, First Nations\, or Indigenous Tribe\, or identify as Native Alaskan or Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander\, and currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program in a relevant academic discipline such as wildlife biology or ecology. Applicants must display a record of academic excellence and a strong interest in pursuing a career in wildlife management or conservation. Qualified applicants will b evaluated by a panel. Find out more information here: http://wildlife.org/tws-24th-annual-conference/ \n\nApplications: Must include name\, address\, email\, phone number\, tribal affiliation\, name of college/university\, current level of study (undergrad\, grad\, post-grad)\, field of study\, and a copy of the most recent OFFICIAL transcripts (must show courses and grades). Also include an essay (500-750 words) explaining why you would like to participate\, how this program might benefit your career development\, how your personal and cultural experiences and skills contribute to the wildlife profession\, and any other special circumstances you may have. Mention any relevant extracurricular activities\, societies\, honors\, or awards. \n\nDEADLINE: Email all application materials to serrahoagland@gmail.com no later than JUNE 26\,2017
