“I have learned that being an Oak Ambassador means more than just knowing about animals, oaks, rocks and other parts of nature. It means being responsible, respectful, and helpful to nature and teaching others to do the same.”
—- Boone, 5th grade Oak Ambassador

In celebration of Birdability Week, we are partnering with Morro Coast Audubon Society to provide an all-ages, accessible birding event at Cloisters Park in Morro Bay! Our organization’s program is geared toward families and will be offered in English and Spanish as needed. We will do our best to accommodate different needs.
Cloisters is an accessible neighborhood park located in a wetland, home to a wide variety of birds. It has flat, asphalt paths, fully accessible for those using wheelchairs, walkers, or canes. It also hosts a children’s play area, public restrooms, and picnic tables.

Every fall, male tarantulas wander in search of burrows with females and their nests that they have prepared for just such a visitor. September and October are peak times to see them on their journeys in brushy areas with sandy soil. Join us as we search for these eight-legged wanderers on a free, family-friendly 3 mile hike over varied terrain at our Santa Rita Ranch!

Learning Among the Oaks was introduced to scientists, conservationists, and oak enthusiasts from around the world today. Program Manager Zarah Wyly spoke about our curriculum and youth Oak Ambassadors at the 11th International Oak Society conference in Oaxaca, Mexico. Attendees from 20 different countries have come together to share research findings, make connections, and build community around this incredible plant species. We are proud to be part of the global movement to protect, care for, and restore oak woodlands for both people and the planet.

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.
