—- Boone, 5th grade Oak Ambassador

Now is the time to go out and look for fall galls! These otherworlldy structures can be found among the leaves of our blue and valley oaks in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. Learn about the insects that make these structures and how to identify them. Then head out to search for how many different kinds you can find on a BioBlitz along our primarily flat 0.8 mile-long Santa Margarita Ranch Learning Among the Oaks Trail. Sign up for this free, family-friendly event in the bio link.
