North Coyote Valley Conservation Area

Enjoy the oak savanna landscape with us for a morning of birding, nature journaling, and fresh air! The North Coyote Valley Conservation Area is nestled in the rich oak savanna landscape along Santa Teresa Blvd just north of Bailey Road. We'll be enjoying the sun-soaked hills, twisted oaks, and all of the wonderful wildlife hidden away in the valley.

Attendees are asked to bring their own chairs and journaling materials. Limited journaling materials will be available on site.

This event has been made possible through Open Space Authority's Urban Grant Program.
