Join us at our beautiful preserve in the Pine Hills area of Julian for a fun evening hiking with a purpose. This will be an adventure to listen and look for bats, learn about bats and monitor their echolocation calls using bioacoustics. All ages welcome. Join our SDRPF staff, Bat Biologist Dan Taylor, and Moth specialist Hector Valtierra to collect valuable data.
This event will take place at Eagle Peak Ranch, a beautiful property secluded near Julian, that includes oak woodlands and multiple ponds. Please bring a flashlight or headlamp and water and wear long pants and close toed shoes. Bug repellant recommended. You are welcome to arrive an hour early (6 PM) to enjoy your picnic dinner at one of the beautiful view points or picnic tables.
