Join us for a fun and engaging presentation about the bats of Northern California! Learn how bats are the only mammals that can truly fly, how they use echolocation to “see” in the dark, and why their diet of insects, including mosquitoes and crop pests, makes them so important to people and the environment.

This beginner-focused outing is great for birders of all levels. The Gardens host various habitats including cultivated gardens, pine forests, lawns, coastal prairie, and ocean views.

The Northern California Osprey Collaborative is a new, community-driven raptor research initiative working to better understand and conserve breeding Ospreys across our region. Created to help fill important knowledge gaps in regional raptor research, the project aims to expand monitoring efforts beyond Humboldt Bay to coastal areas, reservoirs, and river systems throughout Northern California.
