We would like to thank everyone at Odysea Aquarium for continuing their sponsorship of Natural Restorations, we are grateful for their support of our mission! OdySea Aquarium seeks to educate, engage, enrich, & inspire all ages to conserve & protect our planet, & we love teaming up with them to remove trash & invasives from local rivers & lakes.
This year, our partnership with OdySea Aquarium looks a little different, but it’s already having a positive impact! We're working with Arizona Plasma on a Legacy Tree Program where local students from Circle Cross Ranch K-6 grow trees for our replanting program, specifically Ironwoods for the Bush Fire burn scar on the Tonto National Forest at Four Peaks. Part of Legacy Tree Program’s curriculum is following the lifecycle of a drop of water; students learn about where the water they use for the trees they are growing for us comes from.
As part of our sponsorship, OdySea provided free admission for a group of 47 students & chaperones from the Legacy Tree Program so that they could enjoy a morning field trip to the Aquarium and learn more about the lifecycle of a drop of water. We loved hearing how much students enjoyed their trip to the aquarium, thanks again to everyone at OdySea for their hospitality & support!
Students from Legacy Tree Program will also be at our 7th annual Opt Outside & Save Our Saguaros Replanting Event & Veteran’s Day Celebration on Saturday, November 14th from 9am to 12pm. Registration for this event opens soon!
We are grateful for Odysea Aquarium’s support of conservation & education organizations, like Natural Restorations, that align with their three core initiatives; Education, Conservation, & Care. Thank you for investing in Arizona’s outdoor spaces & our mission.
