Conservation Cultura: In STEM & Environmental Education
This Latino Conservation Week (LCW), join us for a plática that will explore how language, art, culture, and familia influence the way we build belonging in the outdoors, STEM, and conservation spaces.
Reading with a Ranger
Celebrate Latino Conservation Week with a special bilingual edition of Reading with a Ranger at Mission Trails Regional Park. City of San Diego Park Ranger Elizabeth Delgado will lead a family-friendly storytime presented in both English and Spanish, giving young visitors a fun way to connect with nature, wildlife and the park. Families are invited to settle in, listen together and learn more about the natural world through stories and conversation.
Latino Conservation Evening Walk and Moon Viewing
Join the Open Space Authority, San Jose Astronomical Association (SJAA) and US Fish and Wildlife to celebrate the beauty of nature and community for Latino Conservation Week!
As the sun begins to set, we will embark on a guided sensory walk, taking the time to experience nature through sight, sound, touch and smell. We will listen for the evening chorus of frogs and discover the changing colors of the landscape at sunset. As darkness falls, our volunteer astrodocents will help us turn our eyes to the night sky. With telescopes, participants will have the opportunity to view the waxing crescent moon and learn about its phases and surface features.
We hope you can join us to celebrate our community, connection, and the beauty of outdoors.
Dress in layers and bring a red-flashlight to preserve your night vision. Bring water and a snack . Note that the walk to the moon viewing area can be rocky, so close-toed shoes are recommended.

Community Tree Planting
Join Detroit Hives on September 12, 2027, for a special Community Tree Planting Event in celebration of Latino Conservation Week! Hosted at the East Warren Community Arboretum & Botanical Garden in Detroit’s 48214 community, this hands-on event brings residents, families, volunteers, and community partners together to plant trees, grow neighborhood green space, and strengthen our collective connection to nature.
Through community-powered conservation, participants will help create a greener, healthier, and more welcoming neighborhood while learning about the importance of trees, biodiversity, environmental stewardship, and urban conservation. The event is designed to expand access to nature and environmental education while creating meaningful opportunities for Latino families and residents throughout Detroit to participate in shaping the future of their communities.
Together, we’re not just planting trees—we’re planting roots, growing community, and creating a greener Detroit for generations to come.
Come plant with us and Bee the Change! ??
