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.
Our morning will start with an hour of birding before we begin our journaling.
This event has been made possible through Open Space Authority's Urban Grant Program.
