About This Event
It’s time to Take a Hike with AltaCal Bird Alliance! The Northern California Regional Land Trust is excited to welcome the public to the Deer Creek Preserve for a morning of birding as part of the Take a Hike event series. Led by a local birding expert, this hike will wind into the interior of the Preserve toward the fish ladder before returning along the same route, offering participants the opportunity to hone their bird identification skills as well as beautiful views. Deer Creek hosts a variety of habitat types, from forest, to riparian, to canyon, let’s see what we find! All levels of bird knowledge and experience are welcome!
This is a moderate hike of three to four miles, depending on participant interest. Supportive footwear, light clothing layers, sunscreen, a hat, and ample water and snacks are recommended. Registration is free but is required to participate. More information will be sent to registrants closer to the hike date. Please consider a tax-deductible donation to support future educational events like this one, and the conservation of open spaces and wild places across Northern California. Suggested Donation: $10 per person
