Join volunteer naturalists for a late-summer walk along the 1.3-mile Lichen Loop to explore the ancient rock formations and landforms that shape Heil Valley Ranch. This moderate trail includes some rocky, narrow sections. We’ll move at the pace of our most curious hiker, with limited benches available for rest.

Kenneth M - Volunteer Naturalist
I grew up outside of Tucson, exploring the Sonoran Desert including Baja California (before there were roads there!), climbing in the mountains of southern Arizona, tracking birds and wild animals including black bear, javelina, mountain lions, even following rumors of the return of jaguars in the remote areas of the New Mexico "boot-heel." The plants, animals, geology, weather and cultures of these areas became a life-long fascination.
Kristin W - Volunteer Naturalist
I am a lifelong learner and lover of the outdoors. I hope to inspire others when they join me in Naturalist programs to want to learn more and protect our amazing earth.
Roger M - Volunteer Naturalist
I got hooked on being in nature as a kid wandering the palmetto scrub and backwaters of west coast Florida in search of critters and fossils. Though a third-generation geologist, I’ve never earned a dime with my geology degree. For 3 years as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Ghana, I taught secondary school geology, chemistry, math, and general science. A second degree in graphic design led to a career in technical and scientific illustration. I have been volunteering as a naturalist since 1976.
