Contribute to science and explore Eagle Peak Ranch for California Wildlife Day! With rain forecasted on March 3rd, California Wildlife Day, we had to push the event to March 10th. This event celebrates the exceptional biodiversity of Eagle Peak Ranch while also encouraging actions to protect it. We will be walking around Eagle Peak Ranch, documenting the area's flora and fauna via iNaturalist.
Learn how to collect essential species information using your smartphone. We are excited to have you explore nature with us while simultaneously contributing to science. Together, we will document plants and animals using iNaturalist on our smartphones. We look forward to your presence at the event!
