Kevin Kehl

Kehl's "Tierra Mojada Environmental Research Center" project is a living lab that replicates the habitat of Arizona's Sonoran Desert. Complete with towering saguaro cacti and fragrant creosote bushes, this habitat illustrates the importance of this fragile land and gives students the opportunity to conduct water testing and study plants and animals. Through this, students not only gain valuable hands-on science experience, but also a better appreciation for endangered and threatened wildlife and what steps are needed to save them for future generations.
