Most folks wouldn't know it, but Arizona has about 200 native species of mollusks! From tiny springsnails to quarter-sized talussnails, our diverse mollusk species are found from low deserts and canyons up into the forested highlands and sky islands. Most of our snail populations are relics of the last ice age – or perhaps even longer. In this free Speaker Series talk, Jeff Sorensen —the "Snail Guy" with Arizona Game and Fish Department — will provide an introduction to our smallest neighbors and discuss their life history, habitat, threats, conservation needs, and survey efforts.
Doors open at 6:30pm.
