Public Events

Join us Saturday, May 2 for an evening discussion featuring writer, teacher, and naturalist Robin Patten speaking about her book project, Looking for Alice: Time and Truth in the High Desert of Hope. In Spring 2025, Patten retraced the steps of Alice Eastwood (1859-1953), a self-taught botanist and herbarium curator at the California Academy of Sciences for over 50 years, to write a story of the high desert, two women (Alice and Robin) who traversed that land, and what they found and felt over one hundred and thirty years apart.

This event is free and open to the public, 6pm at the Bears Ears Education Center (567 W Main St, Bluff, UT 84512).
