Nature Blitz

Here is your chance to immerse yourself in the Natural History of the Sierra Nevada at Calaveras Big Trees State Park.

Join Doc Nancy for a day of in-depth nature exploration.  In addition to topic presentation, walks and demonstrations, attendees will learn interpretive techniques as well.  All walks are classed as “easy,” with the longest a 1.5 mile stroll around the North Grove.

This program is free to all interested persons and is sponsored by CBTA.  RSVP with CBTA (795-1196) if you can or just show up.  Persons can come to any or all parts of the Nature Blitz.
