The Tucson Cactus and Succulent Society (TCSS) is a non-profit organization dedicated the study and conservation of cacti and succulents. These activities in recent years are pushing TCSS into a prominent teaching role as we serve a community of desert dwellers facing the challenges of rapid climate change.
Steve Watts is an active member of the Tucson Cactus and Succulent Society leadership team. A recent transplant to the Sonoran Desert from the pacific northwest, he got here via stops as a high school and community college teacher of agriculture turned software developer for agribusiness.
