Join Oracle and Catalina State Parks Volunteer, Richard Boyer, as he presents information about the Bighorn Sheep in Arizona. Many of the tools we use can be compared to the tools the Bighorn Sheep use to survive in mountainous areas of Arizona. Also, learn more about the Bighorn Sheep Reintroduction Program and recent releases of sheep into the Catalina Mountains. Free with park admission; reservation suggested.
