with Marcelle Bakula of Morro Coast Audubon Society
Saturday, August 13 from 1 PM to 2 PM,
followed at 2 PM with a free docent-led tour.
Poaching, lead poisoning and habitat destruction resulted in the extinction of California condors in the wild in 1987. Due to tremendous efforts, the largest birds in North America were reintroduced into the wild in 1991 and now hundreds of these charismatic birds can be found in the western United States, but their struggle isn’t over yet!
Discover the latest update on the endangered California Condor and how a remote, historic fire-lookout was transformed into a field research site where education, tracking, and research provides vital information for the protection and recovery of the California Condor.
Presentation is $5 for members/$10 non-members.
Followed at 2 PM by a free docent-led tour of the Garden.
No preregistration required. For more information email education@slobg.org.
