Join Byron Garcia, local biomimicry specialist and founder of Natural Designs LLC, for a guided walk exploring how nature’s patterns, processes, and relationships can inspire innovative solutions to today’s challenges. With a background in conservation ecology and a Master’s in Biomimicry from Arizona State University, Byron will lead participants through an engaging experience that blends observation, storytelling, and systems thinking. Along the way, we’ll uncover how organisms solve problems like insulation, water management, communication, and resilience—and reflect on how these strategies can be applied to design, sustainability, and daily life. 

This walk is geared for adults, and open to all curious minds. No science background needed, just a sense of wonder.

Please register in advance, limited to 10 participants.
