Nature Walks

We offer free nature walks in Rose Canyon and Marian Bear Park for classes UTK - Grade 12 in 11 nearby schools. We hire skilled guides, and divide into small groups. Kids explore, discover and enjoy nature. We also offer free nature walks for scouts, other groups and the general public.

Volunteer

We welcome volunteers of all ages for our habitat restoration projects. We plant native plants and acorns, then weed and water to restore habitat for native birds, bees, butterflies, and other wildlife. Parents bring their kids. High school and college students and scouts all participate.
