Monday, August 21, there will be a total solar eclipse for the first time in 99 years! Join us at the Florence Community Library on August 21, from 9:30 to 11:30 am, for a viewing of the eclipse.
Peak viewing in Arizona will be at 10:33 am. The library will provide eclipse glasses (while supplies last) for safe viewing during the program, with our thanks to Coolidge Public Library for supplying the glasses. Everyone is urged to remember that it is not safe to look directly at the sun without proper protection!
As part of this event, the library will project NASA’s live feed. This broadcast will feature images captured before, during, and after the eclipse by 11 spacecraft, at least three NASA aircraft, more than 50 high-altitude balloons, and the astronauts aboard the International Space Station – each offering a unique vantage point for the celestial event! You can find more information about NASA’s coverage at: https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/eclipse-live-stream.
This event is open to all ages, with activity packets provided for children in attendance.
We hope to see you there as we celebrate the celestial event of the century.

Nocturnal desert animals like to hide – at the base of a palo verde, in the holes under creosote branches and even atop a saguaro.
We’ll take a slow stroll around Littleleaf and Goldmine Trails to see if any of our residents who live high and low are lingering around the front doors of their homes or searching for food nearby.
What we might see: beetles, bats, spiders, owls, snakes and maybe even a scorpion.
What to bring: Flashlight, closed-toe shoes and water.
Bring a black light if you’re feeling lucky enough to see scorpions!
No pets, please.

Join the San Tan Valley Master Gardeners for this fun activity where you will shape soil and seeds into a protective “mudball” that will slowly break down and disperse seeds for spring.
Your take-home seed ball will be made with seeds that are appropriate for our low desert gardens and yards.
You can also make a second seed ball that will be used in the park.
This one will be made using seeds harvested on various park trails so that the seeds reflect what naturally occurs in the park.
This drop-in activity will be held 9-11am and is included with your park entry fee.

Have you heard the term “composting” and wondered what it meant?
Join the San Tan Valley Master Gardeners to find out!
You will learn how to turn your kitchen and yard waste into a nourishing additive for the soil in your garden and landscape.
During this family-friendly class they will demonstrate an easy-to-make compost bin, help you understand the composting process, and give you tips on what to put in your compost bin for the best quality.
They’ll even have finished compost samples for kids and adults to examine for decomposers that are an integral part of the process!

You’ll learn how it differs from traditional composting, and how you can have an endless supply of worm castings to add nutrients to your indoor and outdoor plants.

Join the San Tan Valley Master Gardeners for an informative class on “garden hacks” that can make your gardening efforts easier and more successful.
Learn how to take things that can be found around your house – in the junk drawer, in the recycle bin, in the corner of the garage – and make them into simple, yet helpful, gadgets to assist you with your planting, watering, pest control, harvesting and preservation tasks.
This class will be held outdoors in the Visitor Center complex so that the gardeners can get a little messy as they demonstrate how some of these handy devices work.
Take home sheets with project ideas will be available, as well.
Please bring water and a hat.
Meet outside the Visitor Center in the fenced complex area.

Join the San Tan Valley Master Gardeners for this informative class on xeriscaping – the practice of creating a low-maintenance landscape with plants that require little or no irrigation.
This type of design not only conserves our precious water resources but also helps to lower your water bill.
While you may think this means planting only cactus and native plants, the Gardeners will show you options for year-round color with other drought-resistant vegetation that can survive in our Sonoran Desert.
Plants samples will be on view and take-home resource handouts will be available.
Meet inside the Nature Center.

Nothing quite beats an Arizona sunset draping gracefully over the Superstition Mountains, with views of Four Peaks and Goldfield mountains in plain view. This easy one-mile guided hike with a ranger focuses on the aesthetic, while offering opportunities to interpret what you see on the trail. We are bound to see some wildlife that is active during sunset, and perhaps some night-blooming cactus flowers! Meet at Saguaro ramada.

The stories are kid-friendly, but may still cause a fright. You know your child best.
The campfire isn’t real, of course, but the marshmallows and hot chocolate are.

San Tan Mountain Regional Park COVID guidelines:
Kids ages 8-12 are invited to sit by the campfire and hear some fun, but spooky stories, roast some marshmallows and play a game.
This program is after-hours so parents are strongly encouraged to be present.
The stories are kid-friendly, but may still cause a fright. You know your child best.
The campfire isn’t real, of course, but the marshmallows and hot chocolate are.
Parental permission is required.

Join Ranger Nikki for a walk along the Maricopa Trail outside of a traditional mountain setting and learn about local history and outdoor opportunities.
This is a one-way guided walk (almost 6 miles) with Ranger Nikki designed to help 100 Miles Challenge participants attain their “third park” requirement by traveling on a segment of the Maricopa Trail. This walk is also open to non-participants. You must make travel arrangements ahead of time to be dropped off/picked up or have a vehicle at BOTH the starting and end points. Carpooling is encouraged due to limited parking at the starting trailhead.
We start at the Goldmine Trailhead off Wagon Wheel Road and follow the Maricopa Trail via surface streets, paved pathways, and sidewalks to Mansel Carter Oasis Park (19535 E Appleby Rd, Queen Creek, AZ 85142).
We will discuss local history along the way, including the story of Mansel Carter, and make a brief stop at the Desert Wells Stage Stop on Sossaman Rd. Wear closed-toe shoes and bring water, snacks, hat and sunscreen. Meet at the Goldmine Trailhead off Wagon Wheel Rd. (Corner of Skyline and Wagon Wheel Rd).
Portable restrooms are available at the Goldmine Trailhead.
Water is not available so be sure to bring plenty of your own.
MEETING LOCATION: Goldmine Trailhead on the corner of Wagon Wheel Road and Skyline Drive.
Limit 25 participants. To register, please email Ranger Nikki at nikki.bunnell@maricopa.gov with your name, phone number and number of people attending. If you find you cannot attend a program after you have registered, please email the Ranger ASAP so we may contact those on the waiting list.

Depending on how hot the weather is forecasted to be that day, we may do a shortened version of just Rock Peak Wash Trail.\NFor those only wanting to do a shorter hike, you could consider joining us for the 0.9-mile hike on the Rock Peak Wash Trail before turning back (which is easy to find your way back to the parking lot on), which will take place between 7:00-8:00am roughly. The ranger and those that want to go farther will continue over to the Malpais Trail and parts of San Tan Trail, and back via Rock Peak Wash Trail, making a 7.8-mile loop. The hike usually takes 5 hours to do. Again, the hike may be shortened depending on how hot the weather forecast ends up being for this day.\NAlong the way Ranger Eric will talk about the plants, animals, and ecology of the Sonoran Desert, and how to use iNaturalist and other community science apps. The hike is considered moderate to difficult, mostly for the distance and due to long stretches of walking in sandy washes, with some rocky and uneven surfaces are involved, as well. This hike does not involve much in the way of steep inclines though, so it is more hiking through washes and over hills rather than more rough mountain terrain. \NPlease wear sturdy footwear and sun protection, and carry ample water and snacks for yourself. At least 3 liters of water is recommended for this hike. Pre-hydrating the night before this hike is a good idea, as is consuming electrolytes before and during the hike.\NThe City Nature Challenge is a bioblitz-style competition that challenges local communities to make the most observations of biodiversity in their area during this 4-day period using the free community science app, iNaturalist.

June brings the Strawberry Moon, traditionally nicknamed for red berries that ripen this time of year. Instead of red berries, we desert dwellers might see the ripened red fruit of our majestic saguaros. This evening’s full moon is also a “Micromoon”, the name given to a full moon when it coincides with the point in the moon’s orbit that is farthest away from Earth (approximately 251,655 miles!). As darkness settles, we will also search for bark, striped-tail and giant hairy scorpions. Of course, there’s a chance we may see other nocturnal critters such as bats, owls, tarantulas, geckos, centipedes, stink bugs and more! The route is an out-and-back walk on the Service Road, a wide dirt pathway that is mostly level but has some uneven surfaces at the far end. Wide-wheeled strollers or wagons can navigate the terrain but may require extra muscle through a short length of sand at the beginning and over the bumps at the turnaround point. (This walk is geared toward families and kids. If you are looking for a more challenging adventure, please consider the Full Moon Hike on Monday night). Bring your UV blacklight to see scorpions fluoresce and a regular flashlight to light your way. No pets, please. Wear closed-toe shoes and bring plenty of water.
