Just outside the Beckman Center is a shade house. Here they grow prickly pear cactus so that they can plant it in the wild areas adjacent to the Safari Park. They grow them both to help the cactus wrens that nest in the cactus (the adult birds require the cactus be at least three feet tall in order to nest) and to help the habitat itself.
