Description

Join Sonoma Ecology Center education staff and our teen EnviroAmbassadors for an Environmental Discovery Day at Montini Open Space Preserve every Wednesday afternoon through the month of October.  There are two time slots to reserve to accommodate smaller group settings. The first slot is from 1:30-3:00 pm and the second from 3:15-4:45 so as to avoid any crossover of the groups.  Please only sign up for one time slot.

Staff will lead the small family walks through approximately 2 miles of oak woodlands to encourage our youth to become "Wildlife Defenders". Programming is based on Sonoma Ecology Center's K-5 Watershed education field trip programs. Children attending the event must be accompanied by a parent or chaperone. 

Meeting at the Field of Dreams Parking lot entrance to Montini. Please bring your mask, personal hand sanitizer, and a water bottle. A pencil or writing utensil, binoculars, and shade hats are optional but encouraged to bring as well!

We are limited to 12 participants to comply with Sonoma County's Health Order governing outdoor recreation. Registration is required. All participants must wear a mask and comply with social distancing guidelines. Please arrive as close to the start time as you can for a short safety talk. 

For more information contact Tony Passantino, Education Program Manager, at Tony@sonomaecologycenter.org


There is no charge for this outing, which is made possible by the voters of Sonoma County who fund the work of  Ag + Open Space with a quarter-cent sales tax!
