Saturday, February 27, 2010, 4:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.: Muir Woods marks the southern front in a battle for survival between two competing owl species. On this strenuous seven-mile dusk hike we will look and listen for the owls that make Muir Woods their home, learn more about their history and ecology, and receive the latest research updates on our most famous resident, the spotted owl, which is defending its habitat from the invading barred owl. Dress in layers and bring a flashlight, water, and a snack. Meet at Muir Woods National Monument Visitor Center, Mill Valley, CA 94941. Park entrances fees apply and $3 material fee requested. For reservations, phone 415-388-2596. For more information go to: www.wildequity.org/events.

 

The Golden Gate National Parks contains more endangered species than any other National Park in continental North America. This is certainly cause for celebration, but also for concern. Take part in the 2010 GGNP Endangered Species Big Year and get to know these species while helping them recover. It is free. Signup for the Big Year at www.wildequity.org and go to the calendar to see the upcoming Big Year trips and activities.
