 Saturday, June 8 from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

Wildlife Tour: Ages 15+ – Partly Accessible Trail– Registration Required

San Elijo Lagoon Nature Center: 2710 Manchester Ave, Encinitas, CA 92007 
Summer is here, and the plant life at San Elijo welcomes the season in different ways! Upland plants shift into the foliage of relaxing browns and slip into water-saving dormancy, but salt marsh plants, irrigated by seawater, burst out in emerald green, like a well-tended golf course. We might spot tiny salt crystals winking from the salt grass, hear the Belding’s Savannah Sparrow belting out tunes from the pickleweed, or catch an Osprey playing a game of catch-the-fish. Fun and fascinating times ahead!
