Wildlife Tour | May 10

  • Saturday, May 10, 2025
  • 2 Hours

Get ready for a leisurely, free-flowing exploration that will leave you in awe! Experience an explosion of colors, showcasing some of the most dazzling wildflowers. Recent tours have unveiled the enchanting phacelia, with flowers coiling like a curled scorpion’s tail in shades of violet-blue. You may also witness the delicate vines of the trumpet-shaped wild morning glory and the stunning coast fiddleneck, its tiny yellow flowers shining like bright stars amid the grasses. 

Weather permitting. Wildlife is unpredictable. There is no guarantee of what you will see.

Volunteers Elizabeth Venrick + Mark Jenne will lead your nature experience.
