SUMMER NATURALIST PROGRAM

During the summer, signs of life are everywhere on Catalina - St. Catherine's Lace and Catalina Ironwoods are bursting with flowers, and the Catalina Cherry's young, green fruits have finally emerged into the warm, ripening sun. Barn swallows, after their long migration from South America, return to the island to nest and raise their young.

In keeping with Catalina's seasonal cycles, another natural tradition returns to the island every summer. The Conservancy invites you to participate in Summer Naturalist programs.  Join us in Avalon, Little Harbor, and Two Harbors as we take the time to investigate and celebrate the web of life that is uniquely Catalina.

Come, discover (or rediscover!) the natural side of summer on Catalina!  Join us on a nature walk, nature hike, or campfire program.

All Summer Naturalist programs are FREE, no reservations are necessary!
