A few sweet moments from the Santa Fe Ranch. 🌿🦋🐥
Our friends from SCTP got to spend time our tiny bantam chick, enjoy some time together under the shade structure, and explore what’s blooming around the ranch. Greg’s mistflower is flowering in the garden right now and, as usual, the butterflies have found it!
We love seeing people slow down, explore, and enjoy the plants, animals, and outdoor spaces that make the ranch such a special place. 💛

This morning the group met our new chick, enjoyed the animals and relaxed on the new swing beneath our brand new shade.

🎉 HUGE THANK YOU ALERT!

We are absolutely thrilled to unveil our brand-new, permanent outdoor learning shade structure at The Santa Fe Ranch! This incredible upgrade was made possible through the generous funding and support of The Greater Green Valley Community Foundation and Desert Diamond Casino! 🙌☀️Our old shade was falling apart, but thanks to these amazing organizations, we now have a beautiful, long-lasting space where our community can gather safely out of the sun. School kids, individuals with disabilities, and community groups visit us to bond with animals, learn about nature, and enjoy the great outdoors. This new structure completely transforms our outdoor classroom space! 🐮🌿✨Swipe through the photos below to see the amazing transformation! We cannot thank our sponsors enough for investing in our mission, education, and accessibility!❤️

We had so much fun at Las Lagunas today introducing the Nature of Groundwater to the community. Thank you University of Arizona's Water Resources! Our youth volunteers are the best for showing up on a Saturday!

Today was so busy I almost forgot photos until Aida reminded me. We brought out many of the animals, spent time with some of our highschool visitors, and planted Rosemary. Thanks SCTP!
