Experienced birders and newbies alike are invited to join Return of the Natives at Upper Carr Lake for the Winter Bird Count. Last year, we identified over 70 species and had a great group of students who had never been on a bird count before.

Why count birds? The quantity and diversity of birds helps us to assess the success of our ongoing habitat restoration work. Also, it is fun! After 10am, volunteers are invited to help plant California native plants at Upper Carr Lake.

RON events are a great way to learn more about where you live, meet new people, get community service hours, and help protect our clean water supply and natural habitat. Tools, water and great snacks provided for this special event!
