Hone your Naturalist Skills: 
The Bouverie Backyard Naturalist Series 
Grosbeak
The Bouverie Preserve of Audubon Canyon Ranch is offering an exciting new program of field courses - called the Backyard Naturalist Series - designed for adults who wish to hone their own naturalist skills while learning more about the flora and fauna of the Valley of the Moon in Sonoma County. 
 

Classroom and field activities included. Easy to moderate hiking required. Click here for more information. 

The Bouverie Preserve as Artists' Inspiration
The Bouverie Preserve is one of the featured sites visited by dozens of nationally-recognized artists during Sonoma Plein Air 2007.  This event, which is taking place this week, brings artists from across the country for a week of painting the inspiring landscapes of Sonoma Valley, including the stunning Bouverie Preserve. 
 
The event culminates with an art exhibition and sale this Saturday, Sept. 15th, on the historic Sonoma Plaza.

Expert birders needed for bird censuses on Tomales Bay

GodwitEach year during the fall and winter months, ACR scientists census shorebirds and waterbirds on Tomales Bay with the help of dedicated volunteers.  Join us as we collect data from boats and from the shores of beautiful Tomales Bay.

 

Volunteers should have excellent birding skills and be able to identify birds in flight and from a distance. Email Emiko Condeso for more information.
