Save the Date! Announcing the first California Naturalist Program Regional Rendezvous in the North Coast and Bay Delta Bioregions on Sunday, October 8! We are excited to work with long-time partners at Pepperwood Preserve to offer a one day gathering for California Naturalists and interested friends. Naturalist updates, field walks with experts, keynote speakers, book exchange, lunch, and a final gathering and reception will all be included in this fun day. We'll rendezvous under the oaks to feed our curiosity, inspire each other, and build community!
