At McDowell Mountain Preserve Ranger "Crash" led us on a .4 mile hike and spoke of the food and medicinal uses of the Saguaro Cactus, Barrel Cactus, Buckhorn Cholla, Teddy bear Cholla, Ocotillo, Palo Verde Tree, Mesquite Tree, Jojoba Bush, Creosote Bush, and Mormon Tea, all of which we saw on the trail. At the visitors’ center, the children learned more about desert wildlife and care and compassion for animals as they interacted with a baby snake. We took photos to include in our “biome boxes” for exchange with three other R&S groups.
