Join our first Latino Conservation Week event EVER!
Dates: July 12-13, 2019
Times: 6pm ~ 12pm

Here the three ways we are celebrating it: Camping, enjoying the sunset, birdwatching, kayaking, and salsa dancing!

Do not miss enjoying our Sanctuary as very few people have done so before.

– On Friday night, we will do a sunset/night bird walk, icebreaker games, leave no trace talk, Point Reyes National Seashore talk (by a Hispanic Access Foundation Intern), campfire, giveaways, and will have a great time together salsa dancing while dinner is being served.

– On Saturday, we will serve breakfast and divide the groups in two, one will stay and do restoration work on site and the other will go on a interpretative kayak trip in the bay. We will kayak along Sausalito’s waterfront viewing the local wildlife, including seals, and sea lions.

This event is FREE! So RSVP because spaces are limited. Camping equipment will be provided to anyone who needs it.

If you want to join the fun, please send Fabiola Torres a message at ftorres@audubon.org to reserve your spot!

Bio Blitz at La Mancha Wetland

In honor of Latino Conservation Week, we’re having a BioBlitz at La Mancha Wetland!

What’s a bio blitz, you ask? Basically, it’s a way that regular people and kids can participate in real science, by taking pictures of different plants and animals that we can use later to collect real data about a special place. So bring the whole family and come on out to the pond for a fun-filled afternoon!
