Join Dr. James Danoff-Burg, Vice President of Conservation at The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, for a conversation about enjoying outdoor recreation while helping protect the landscapes that make these experiences possible. Learn how responsible trail use, thoughtful decision-making, and outdoor ethics can help reduce impacts on sensitive desert ecosystems, wildlife, and habitat. Through real-world conservation examples, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how recreation and stewardship can work together to keep trails, public lands, and natural spaces healthy for future generations. Whether you're a mountain biker, OHV user, hiker, trail runner, or outdoor enthusiast, this presentation will provide practical insights for recreating responsibly in the outdoors.
