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!
