This Saturday, September 12, from 9 am–12 pm: Celebrate California Biodiversity Week by joining Jane Orbuch from the Santa Cruz Bird Club for an exploration of the cultural and natural history of the San Lorenzo River, focusing on observing & recording birds for Biodiversity Day. Meet at the Olios Cafe at the Tannery Arts Center starting at 8:30 am for coffee and chatting.
We will walk the river levee beginning at 9 am to Chinatown Bridge and back to the Tannery by noon. Special guests will share insights on past, present, and future river plans and assist in identifying birds. Participants are welcome to have lunch at Olios Cafe and explore the Art of Flowers exhibit at the Tannery following the walk. Participants will get a detailed email before the event.
