Once among the most common fish in the Gila River Basin, Gila topminnow (Poeciliopsis occidentalis) and desert pupfish (Cyprinodon macularius) are now both listed as Endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Introduced species, disease, and habitat loss continue to threaten these native fish, and natural sites suitable for reintroductions are limited.

Join Brett Montgomery, Topminnow/Pupfish Specialist for the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD), as he pulls from a decade’s worth of experience in southwestern aquatic ecosystems to provide a close look at these imperiled fish. During this presentation, you’ll also learn about the USFWS’ Safe Harbor Program, a collaboration with AZGFD and private landowners to put private lands to work for threatened and endangered species. 

The event will begin at 5:00 p.m. with the potluck dinner beginning at about 5:30 p.m. (we'll announce when it's time to eat!). The presentation will immediately follow the meal. Come join us, invite a friend, and bring a dish to share. We also have a collection bin for food items to donate to the Santa Cruz food bank!
