Reception for Scott Stonum, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument’s new Superintendent

NPCA is pleased to present an informal reception for Scott Stonum, who became the monument’s superintendent last August after serving so well as Saguaro National Park’s Chief of Science and Resource Management.

Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument was designated an International Biosphere Reserve due to its thriving community of desert plants and animals, an ecology that faces unique challenges in part because of its location on the U.S.-Mexico border. Join us to hear Scott’s presentation on current issues at the monument. We’ll make it a party with beverages and refreshments in the conference room of Tucson’s Historic Y, on Thursday, April 18, from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
