Animals On The Preserves! A Special Presentation

Join us for this one-of-a-kind presentation at the Ampitheater on the McKenzie Preserve for an afternoon of learning all about the Animals you can find on our Preserves! We have local experts Cat Kroschell will highlight Birds of Prey, Guy Cisneros presenting about reptiles, and Burleigh Lockwood, bat expert. You won’t want to miss out on this amazing experience!

Gates open at 2:30 PM, allow time for a short hike to the amphitheater and the presentation will start at 3 PM. We plan to be done just after sunset, it’s going to be a beautiful season out on the Preserve – be sure to register early as space is limited.  Please bring a flashlight, and wear walking shoes. SFC Staff and docents will light the way back to the parking lot as well. 

 Cost for this special event is $20 per individual participant. We are actively seeking sponsorships for this event – please consider becoming a sponsor, then all participation fees will be dedicated to the stewardship work on SFC preserves! See registration form for details.
