Explore the diversity of flora and fauna in the Buck Gully Reserve on a recently improved trail. This will be a slow-paced hike on a fairly flat trail which traverses newly installed bridges. Discussion will focus on the abundant and diverse plant and animal life that call Buck Gully their home.

PLEASE NOTE: Poison oak grows in abundance throughout the entire Buck Gully Reserve trail system. If you are susceptible to poison oak, please plan accordingly. In many places, it is right alongside the trail and occasionally encroaches into the pathway.

Gear up for this amazing star gazing night as we capture this winter’s meteor shower! Our evening will begin with a short one mile hike to warm us up in the cool winter’s air; then we will stretch out under the stars to capture one of this season’s spectacular outer galactic shows! We will view the different stars, constellations and tell stories of astronomy folklore as we watch for meteors crossing the night sky.  You will also have an opportunity to make an out-of-this-world craft to take home! Please dress in many warm layers as the evening is cool against the canyon. Also, you are welcome to bring your own blankets and chairs to sit and enjoy the show!

Due to the rain today the program is canceled.

Then come out on this easy walk while we observe and learn about the wonderful oaks in our ecosystem. This will be an easy, highly interpretive program.
