Rachel Hosna
Twelve years ago, Rachel traded in the midwest for the southwest when she got a job collecting native seeds for restoration in the Mojave desert of Nevada. Since then, she has worked on public lands all over the southwest surveying for rare plants, conducting vegetation monitoring, managing noxious weeds and collecting (more) seeds! She can’t wait to soak in the spring blooms with you!
Megan Rabinowich
Megan is a botanist with a deep love for the landscapes and plant communities of the Southwest. She holds an M.S. in Botany from New Mexico State University and a bachelor’s degree in Wildlife Biology from the University of Vermont, and has spent years conducting field research, surveying plant communities, and exploring the Mojave Desert, Chihuahuan Desert, Colorado Plateau, and the diverse habitats of New Mexico.
Originally from upstate New York, Megan works as an environmental consultant in New Mexico where she lives with her two cats, Elton and Winona. Megan is passionate about ecological restoration and helping others understand the resilience and beauty of native plants. She enjoys biking, skiing, rafting, hiking, and catching live music whenever she can.

Kirk Anderson
Kirk will be your guide to the past cultures and landscapes of the Grand Canyon. Dr. Anderson is a geo-archaeologist who has conducted research in the southwest and Mexico for over 30 years, focusing on the interplay between ancient cultures and the natural environment. He received his masters degree from Northern Arizona University, in Flagstaff, investigating how cultures and landscapes respond to climate change in the Glen Canyon region.
Between 2009 and 2012 he was part of the Museum of Northern Arizona and National Park Service research team that excavated several archaeology sites along the river corridor through Grand Canyon. Participants will visit some of those sites, and others, providing a unique opportunity to be immersed in the ancient Grand Canyon landscape, learn how archaeologists go about their investigations, and achieve a deeper understanding of the resilience that the ancestors of modern Native Americans needed to live and thrive in this challenging landscape.
