Take a closer look at what owls eat during this hands-on bilingual Discovery Table at the Mission Trails Visitor Center. Presented in English and Spanish as part of Latino Conservation Week, the activity invites visitors to examine owl pellets and discover the tiny bones and other clues hidden inside. MTRP volunteer Trail Guides will help participants identify what they find and learn more about owls, their prey and the role these nocturnal predators play in the park’s ecosystem.

Explore Mission Trails Regional Park en español during a special Spanish-language Guided Nature Walk offered as part of Latino Conservation Week. Spanish-speaking MTRP volunteer Trail Guides will lead this walk from the Visitor Center, sharing their knowledge of the park’s plants, wildlife, geology, history and culture along the way. The walk will take place at the same time as the regular Saturday Guided Nature Walk but will be a separate experience for visitors who prefer narration in Spanish.

Celebrate Latino Conservation Week with a special bilingual edition of Reading with a Ranger at Mission Trails Regional Park. City of San Diego Park Ranger Elizabeth Delgado will lead a family-friendly storytime presented in both English and Spanish, giving young visitors a fun way to connect with nature, wildlife and the park. Families are invited to settle in, listen together and learn more about the natural world through stories and conversation.
