The 2025 Water and Natural Resources Tour gives you exclusive access to research facilities, test farms, and tribal management of water and natural resources.

The tour will begin in Phoenix, Arizona, where we’ll spend a day and a half learning about urban water management, wastewater treatment, and natural resource management in desert cities.

We will then spend a day and a half in Maricopa, Arizona. Hosted by the USDA’s Arid Land Agricultural Research Center, we will visit tribal farming operations and meet with researchers to discuss new findings in desert water management.

We will wrap up the tour in Yuma, Arizona. Hosted by the Yuma Center of Excellence for Desert Agriculture and the Yuma County Agricultural Water Coalition, we will experience a day in the life of the farm workers that produce 90% of the United States' winter vegetables - including the 5:00 a.m. start time and breakfast burritos in the field. We'll understand how Colorado River water management is crucial to our country’s food security.
