Virtual Happy Hours
Arizona Land and Water Trust has been hosting Virtual Happy Hours for its supporters since May of 2020 as a way to stay in touch with you during a time of social distancing. This highly successful program has been a journey through presentations ranging from local wildlife, Trust partnerships, award winning photography to rainfall research.
Upcoming Happy Hour topics as well as past Virtual Happy Hour recordings are posted below. Enjoy!
