Nature Collective is hosting several free nature events throughout November, including Discovery Tours, Wildlife Tours, and Volunteer Restoration Events.
Nature Collective is a local conservation and science education nonprofit organization. They work to restore habitats, provide healthier waters, and increase wildlife diversity. They are dedicated to conserving the land and providing experiences for people to fall in love with nature.
Saturday, Nov. 1 from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m.
Discovery Tour: Ages 9+ (Registration Required)
San Elijo Lagoon Nature Center (2710 Manchester Ave., Cardiff-by-the-Sea, CA 92007)
RSVP: https://naturecollective.org/event/discovery-tour-november-1-2025/
Discover the beauty of San Elijo Lagoon: where fresh water and saltwater meet and mix, migratory and resident birds share a sanctuary, and many animals find a home. This guided tour will inspire all to watch and listen for various birds that rest in – and fly across – the salt marsh and mudflats. No matter the season, you can enjoy, photograph, and identify a host of native plants. The Nature Center Loop Trail is accessible, providing fun for all.
Saturday, Nov. 8 from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m.
Wildlife Tour: Ages 15+ (Registration Required)
San Elijo Lagoon (meet-up location will be emailed to registered participants)
RSVP: https://naturecollective.org/event/wildlife-tour-november-8-2025/
By late fall, our winter birds have arrived – shorebirds, ducks, songbirds, and birds of prey. The endearing, White-crowned Sparrows busily hunt seeds along the trail’s edge. The sharp, high-pitched “chck”s of Yellow-rumped Warblers filter through the foliage above us. We may spot a majestic Northern Harrier skimming low over the marsh, looking for mice. Wetter days may bring forth a surprising display of fanciful mushrooms. Clear, cooler days are perfect for exploring. Are you ready? The tour is weather permitting. Wildlife is unpredictable; there is no guarantee of what you will see.
Saturday, Nov. 15 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Volunteer Restoration Event: Ages 6+ (minors with guardians) – Registration Required
San Elijo Lagoon (meet-up location shared before the event)
RSVP: https://naturecollective.org/event/volunteer-restoration-event-november-15-2025/
We need your help to restore precious habitats within the San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve and the surrounding areas. By removing invasive plants and helping grow native plants indigenous to the area, you will support a more balanced ecosystem.
