Thank you!

The generosity of ACR supporters helps kids and families connect with nature, and supports conservation science and critical habitat protection programs. If you remembered ACR in your year-end giving or donated your time through volunteering last year, thank you.
The new year marks a time of hopes and challenges, and Audubon Canyon Ranch values the interest, support, and involvement of our many wonderful friends.

red-bellied newtWhy is the red-bellied newt the unofficial mascot of the Bouverie Preserve? Newts love the cool moist habitat in our creeks and canyons. Indeed, the Bouverie Preserve is home to all but three of the amphibians found in Sonoma County. Come spend time on the Bouverie Preserve trails while discussing amphibian life cycles and fun facts about these amazing creatures with Bouverie Preserve Biologist Jeanne Wirka.
