On the morning of April 4, 2023, the creator of the Sabino Canyon Volunteer Naturalists organization,
David Wentworth Lazaroff gave a talk on his new book, Picturing Sabino.
Picturing Sabino represents three decades of work on the history of Sabino Canyon.
David became fascinated by Sabino Canyon while working there as an environmental education specialist from 1977 to 1986.
Picturing Sabino tells the story of the canyon’s transformation from a barely known oasis, miles from a small nineteenth-century town, into an immensely popular recreation area on the edge of a modern metropolis. Covering a century of change, from 1885 to 1985,
this work rejoices in the canyon’s natural beauty and also relates the ups and downs of its protection and enjoyment.
