Description
Tucson Audubon's Mason Center is a place
where youth, families, educators and others can appreciate the beauty of our native desert
and participate in a great variety of natural history learning experiences. Managed by the
Tucson Audubon Society, it is located on 20 acres of mostly undisturbed saguaro-ironwood
desert donated by its former owner, Mrs. Orpha Mason, in an area of Tucson’s
northwest side that is rapidly growing and in great need of outdoor education opportunities. As
a protected area adjacent to additional natural desert in Arthur Pack Park, it provides
habitat for the preservation and study of many desert plants and animals.
The Mason Center is in the spotlight on KUAT Tucson's Arizona Illustrated! Watch the piece.
