Eagle's Nest and Habitat Hike

Join us as we hike along the American River and learn about our habitat and view an eagle's nest, guided by an Eagle Docent and a SacTree arborist!

The hike will be roughly 2 miles total and the terrain will be a mix of paved gravel and loose dirt along varying elevations. Please wear appropriate walking or hiking shoes and comfortable clothing. Sunscreen and/or other sun protection is recommend, and bring binoculars if you have them.

Register now! The week before this event, we will send a logistics and directions email with detailed information about how to get to the site. You will receive this email ONLY if you are signed-up for this planting.
