Urban Conservation Walks
I want to tell you about an exciting series of urban conservation walks' planned for the beginning of April 2011.
Over the years, I have presented a set of local, rather easy walks/ hikes to view conservation areas in the Orange County. Some of these walks have explored the local wetlands and birding areas; some have focused on riparian areas and some on our local Orange County wilderness parks.
