A lifelong amateur naturalist, Jim’s retirement allowed him to return to his love of nature.  He has been a volunteer tour guide for the Boyce Thompson Arboretum for the past eight years, teaching about arid land plants.  Most recently, his book A Walk In The Wallace Desert Garden-Discovering Desert Secrets profiles 48 arid land plants, many found in the Sonoran Desert.  Jim will guide us through Sonoran Desert plants and the habitat they provide for birds.
