This year’s summit–and its accompanying logo–draws inspiration from the Prickly Pear Cactus and a few of its companions: the Cactus Bee and the Curve-billed Thrasher. In a moment of crisis for our country and planet, these three species have a lot to teach us about the communal nature of flourishing.

Cactus bees are solitary ground-dwellers who evolved alongside their food source. Specialized in cactus pollination, visits from this species result in more successful fruiting than other pollinators. In the spirit of mutuality, the prickly pear’s pollen is harvested by these bees to feed their babies once they hatch in underground nests.

Curve-billed Thrashers are birds native to parts of Texas, Arizona, Mexico, and New Mexico. They build their nests in cacti, using spiny limbs as protection from predators. When the prickly pears set fruit in fall, Thrashers help themselves to the juicy magenta offerings and thus spread the plants’ seeds far and wide.

At the summit, we will engage in biomimicry to emulate the collaborative web created by these three species. The day will be filled with opportunities to share stories, learn from others, and imagine a future for outdoor learning where everyone thrives.

Register today for this one-of-a-kind event at the link in our bio, and a huge thanks to EENM board member SamJean Simmons (samjeans) for this beautiful logo!
