What's up with the Birds and the Bugs?

Would you like to know what you are seeing when you go on a hike - to identify and learn about the birds and butterflies, or the flowers and trees? Would you like to know which plants are useful and beneficial to you and which ones you should stay away from? What about the animals, do you know what lives here in our nearby mountains? What their existence means to us and why?

Come and join the cadre of professional naturalists for the annual Nature Knowledge Workshop in the Barton Flats area of the San Bernardino Mountains. We start on Friday evening, June 11, with dinner and program, and finish with Sunday lunch, to give you time to explore on your own on your way home. The price includes camp accommodations in rustic cabins and three very tasty meals a day, six meals total. But what brings folks back, year after year, are the workshops on a wide variety of nature subjects, the walks along the headwaters of the Santa Ana River, the like-minded company, the resource library, and the fresh air. At 5,600 feet, spring is just starting at that time and we'll be able to observe a lot of the goings-on of this exciting and hopeful season. We'll explore the various habitats with our naturalists, who also conduct the workshops.
